"Hacking" the registry -- what a laugh.  That is like saying you are
going to "hack" a text file or it is "hacking" to change a database
record. Despite what you may have been lead to believe, the registry is
not some mystical collection of spells and incantations.  The registry
is a database of settings -- nothing more.  Your computer will not
auto-destruct if you edit the registry.

Go to the Microsoft Knowledge Base (http://support.microsoft.com) and
search for just about anything.  Chances are better than 70% that it
will include a registry change.  

In the case of the original question in this thread, Q310584 is the
answer.  You don't need any additional tools or help.  It takes like 30
seconds to enable AutoAdminLogon for a computer.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to ACCIDENTALLY make a registry
change that breaks Windows?  A program that I wrote, "Multi-Remote
Registry Change" (http://www.eytcheson.com/mrrc.htm) is in use at tens
of thousands of companies around the world and has made billions of
registry changes. I have NEVER had a single user report that they have
experienced a problem because they changed a registry setting.  I have
personally made millions of registry changes and have never managed to
make a registry change that adversely affected the OS.  If you know what
you are doing, then the registry is a tool like any other.

The sooner you learn to MANAGE the registry, the sooner you can become
an effective NT/2000 administrator.
