Try this:

Select Start | Run. Type control userpasswords2.

Uncheck the box for "Users must enter a user name and password for this
computer."
When it prompts to enter a user name and password for an auto-login provide
it and click Ok. Next time you restart it should be automatically logged in
to your desktop.
