If you only have one account on the pc, this will show you how to skip the login screen. If you do have multiple accounts, you can use Powertoys XP instead...

But since you're here, why don't we try to solve your rebooting problem in the first place ? Can you disable the automatic restart ? Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties. Click the Advanced tab. Under Startup and Recovery, click Settings to open the Startup and Recovery dialog box. Clear the Automatically restart check box, and click OK the necessary number of times. Next time it happens, you will get a blue screen with an error message. Write down the number after STOP (something like "0x000000A1") and anything that looks like a filename (for example "nvata.sys"). It might give us an idea where your problem is.

Right now, one potential problem is that some network card drivers/routers can't handle the large number of connections that a torrent client makes, so if you can lower this number in the settings of the torrent client you might be able to avoid the errors.

Removing the password is the only way to get it to login in without you being there.

At the very least Powertoys XP will allow you to autologon even with a password set.
