place this in a text file and save it with a .reg extension:
---start text---
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"DefaultUserName"="administrator"
"DefaultPassword"="TheAdminPassword"
"DefaultDomainName"="MYDOMAIN"
"LegalNoticeCaption"=-
"LegalNoticeText"=-
"AutoAdminLogon"="1"
"ForceAutoLogon"="1"
---end text---
edit as needed, if the computer is not part of a domain, use the machine
name as the DefaultDomainName
after saving the file, double click on it and say yes.
to clean up after, use the same proceedure with this:
---start text---
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"DefaultUserName"=-
"DefaultPassword"=-
"DefaultDomainName"=-
"LegalNoticeCaption"=-
"LegalNoticeText"=-
"AutoAdminLogon"=-
"ForceAutoLogon"=-
---end text---

I have registry entries for autologin, if interested, I'll look them up
and post them. very easy to clean up too, without the pain that the
tweakui utility sometimes causes

James,
Thanks for the help. That is exactly what I am looking for. Now I only
need to autolog the machine with VNCSever. I know it is not advisable
but sometimes I need to temporarily do this especially if I am fixing
the machine which is very very far away and with not user around. I only
need to put back autologon to OFF once I am done.
Now my next task is how to activate autologon. Thanks again.
Steve,
Thanks also for your contribution. It clarified what I was trying to get
at.
Regards,
Cesar

Steve,
No, I think he was asking how to make the server (with a dynamic IP)
connect back *out* to a viewer (with a static IP) when it comes up.
Cheers,
