In addition to the excellent advice from Anando.

XP is a multi-user operating system. You cannot get to the desktop without
being logged on to an account, either automatically or by choosing a user.
If you specify your user account as the one that is automatically logged on
when the system starts, then anyone who starts the computer will be logged
onto your account. They would then need to log off and log back on with
their own account.

It's better to have everyone log onto their own account, simply because not
everyone will want to use the same settings that another user has
configured.
