I know I've done this before, now for some reason I can't REMEMBER how.

With Windows XP Professional, when the computer boots, I want it to automatically log in to a specific user without going to the welcome screen. The user account does not have a password, and it's the only active account other than Administrator.

Through the advanced interface for editing user ACCOUNTS (Start->Run->'Control Userpasswords2'), if I disable "Users must enter a user name and password", then it automatically logs into the administrator account, which I don't want it to do. I want it to go straight into the user account I created, and for the life of me I can't remember how to do it... lolIt is in control userpasswords2.

Run it,
Uncheck users must enter a username and password for this computer
click apply

On my computer a dialog box pops up "Enter the user you want LOGGED on and their password etc"
Fill that in
click ok
