Automatically login on startup

I have a computer running as a file server for my home network, running windows XP. Since it isn't connected to a monitor, keyboard, or mouse, I'd like it to login automatically when it starts up to the single user on it, so that the VNC program will start. Is there a way to do this?

Here's a process that I found for you:

1. At a command prompt, type "control userpasswords2" and press Enter to open the Windows 2000-style User Accounts
application.
2. On the Users tab, clear the Users Must Enter A User Name And Password To Use This Computer check box and then
click OK.
3. In the Automatically Log On dialog box that appears, type the user name and password for the account you want to be
logged on each time you start your computer.
