You can configure Windows XP to automate the logon process if your computer is not part of a domain. Computers configured in a business environment generally have a domain and for those machines the option "Users must enter a username" does not appear because a password must be given to access the local area network or domain.
Because the above doesn't seem to work under WinXP SP2 x64 (64-bit), you can set the auto-login through the WindowXP TweakUI PowerToys. Make sure you download the 64-bit version, though. (Do a search for them, I can't find an offical Microsoft download site.)
