If you only have one user account on your vista installed computer system/PC, then Vista will logon to that account automatically at startup. 
 

However, if your computer is a member of a domain, then the check box for “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer” will be grayed out and not available. This would mean that you cannot enable automatic logon in windows vista at startup, on such computer system.
