You don't need any software to get Windows to do so, proform the following:

- Start
- Run
- Type control userpasswords2 so that it looks like this;

Now click Ok.

- When the user accounts window opens uncheck the box which states 'Users must enter a username and password to use this computer' and click apply.

- You should now be asked for the username (and password if you have given the account one) of the account you wish to automatically logon when you turn on your computer, select the account you wish to do this.

- Click Ok on the User Accounts window, and reboot your computer to see the results.

ah, sorry, I thought you had the problem where old icons appear on XP. Please post more clear posts, as what you said of "Now does anyone knoe how to get the icons of98 on to xp?" could easily be "Now does anyone knoe how to get the icons off 98 on to xp?" meaning you are talking about icons, no offence, but sometimes I have problems getting the exact meanings of your posts.

You can find infomation on changeing Icons here http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article02-016

Do you mean displaying things like 'My Computer', 'Internet Explorer' etc? XP doesn't show them on the desktop by default.
If this is what you're after:
Start > Control Panel > Display > Desktop > Customize Desktop > Select the checkboxes you want under 'Desktop icons'

Edit: Oh, it looks like I'll have to read more carefully next time.
Edit Edit: Wait a minute! you can also change the icons there too..!
