You can log on automatically, same as XP. Goto a run prompt and type
"control userpasswords2" without the quotes. Uncheck "users must enter a
username and password..." (Apologies if it's worded differently, I'm doing
it from memory as my install is fecked!)
If you're talking about User Account Control, I managed to turn it off by
going into the Security Center and disabling "User Account Control". It was
useful at first, then it started to really annoy me by dimming everything
until I clicked OK to allow something I had myself initiated.
Hope that helps.
