Do a search for TweakUI and XP Powertoys.. the XP version is what's needed for 
installing on 2k3 server.. can use the 1.33 version (older) for 2k...

There is a section in there for setting autologin among other things, these 
are really registry tweaks with a gui front end... iirc, it puts a username 
and password under currentconfig..software..microsoft..windowsnt.. somewhere.
