- Click Start, click Run, and type control userpasswords2.
- Uncheck the "Users must enter a username and password to use this computer" check box.
- Click Apply.
- Enter the user name and password you wish to automatically log on with, and then click OK.
- Click OK again and you're all done.
Don't leave the laptop in a public place!

you could always put a bios start up password on it to try and keep it a bit more secure
so that when you start it up you need to input a pin code

possibly i thought a bios password would be less of a slow down then the windows one but you have a point
