Default logging in painlessly

I just got XP when Gateway reformatted my computer.
When I want to reboot, I just want it to reboot. It's not like I have
multiple accounts or users, but I always have to OK something.
Any way I can simply click reboot and walk away and come back to it when
I need to work again?

If I delete all accounts, will that do the trick??

TweakUI has a setting that will allow automatic log-in.

Hi Joe,

Start/run "control userpasswords2" (without the quotes).

Uncheck the box requiring a username and password, click apply/ok and follow
the prompts to set up a default logon.
