I've just installed XP Pro on my laptop and am the only
user, I'd like to get XP to just startup and automaticily
log me in and just go right to the desk top, is there a
way to do that?

Hi Richard,
To logon automatically goto Start > Run and type in control userpasswords2

When the User Accounts window appears uncheck 'users must enter a username
and password to use this computer'. Apply the setting and then you'll be
asked for the password of the user you wish to automatically logon as.

Hope that helps
