I wasn't aware that these registry changes didn't work on XP. I tried them
here and they didn't work on my XP station either. There is no TweakUI for
XP yet either.
Sorry I couldn't have been more help,

station
Thanks for responding Ted.
I found the PSShutDown.exe, from the makers of pstools, which started
this train of thought.
One holdup is an automatic network login. Yesterday I tried a couple
of registry tweaks, as described below, on an XP workstation to no
avail. Any ideas?

"Windows includes a feature that allows you to configure the computer
to automatically logon to the network, bypassing the Winlogon dialog
box.
To enable this function you need to add several new values to the key
below.
1) Add a new string value named 'DefaultUserName' and set it to the
username you wish to automatically logon as.
2) Add a new string value named 'DefaultPassword' and set this to
the password for the user entered above.
3) Add a new string value named 'DefaultDomainName' and set this to
the domain of the user. Ignore this value if the NT box is not
participating in NT Domain security.
4) Add a new string value named 'AutoAdminLogon' and set it to
either '1' to enable auto logon or '0' to disable it.
For Windows 2000 the additional ForceAutoLogon setting must be
enabled to stop the tweak from resetting on reboot.
Exit and restart, Windows should not ask for a password and
automatically show the desktop of the user. "
