Since Wes already covered disabling Simple File Sharing, let's
move on to question 2.

It's "control userpasswords2". The following procedure will
allow you to setup your system for automatic logon:

Go to Start -> Run.
Copy and paste the following into the Open box:

control userpasswords2

Click OK.
Uncheck "Users must enter a user name and password to use this
computer".
Click OK.
In the box that pops up, replace Administrator in the "User
Name" box with your user account. Enter your password twice.
Note: You can leave the password box blank if your account does
not have a password.
Click OK twice and reboot to see if you get the desired
results.

If you want, you can add the alternate User Accounts applet to
Control Panel. Go to this web site and run the registry edit
listed on the right hand side of line 1, Add Control
Userpassword2 to Control Panel:
