Win XP Home Auto-log-in
I want to have an administrator account and a non-administrator account and there's a few things I'd like to do
1) Lock out installation of new software
2) Automatically log-in to the non-administrator account and then for me to be able to log into the administrator account
I may come up with more things I need but for now that's it. This is for a small business (small real estate company) where most of the users don't know the first thing about computers. I want them to not download viruses or mess with anything they shouldn't. Eventually I'll lift the auto-log-in so that I can force them to use a password which they'll learn when they come to tech-training.

Go to Start/Run, and type 'control userpasswords2'.
From Users Tab, Uncheck "Users must enter ...."
A dialog will allow setting a user and password to be used automatically.
