you will always get the login screen, you can't bypass that.

However you can set yourself up an administrator account with no password!!

i think there is a key to put in the registry, so you don't have to press Alt-Ctrl-Del, but i don't know what it is

Set the following keys using reg.exe in your install batfile followed by shutdown if your install doesn't include it.

[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
AutoAdminLogon=1
DefaultUserName="username to use"
LegalNoticeCaption="must be blank"
LegalNoticeText="must be blank"
DontDisplayLastUsername=0
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]
"name of batfile to reset reg keys and reboot or logoff"="path to batfile\filename"

make sure you reset the winlogon regkeys and include either reboot or logoff.

I have just used this method to deploy Internet Explorer and it worked fine.
