If I understand your question, I believe that you want the system to 
auto-log in a certain user.

To do that:
In the menu bar (the main menu, for the OS), choose 'System', then 
'Administration', then 'Login Screen'.

A window will appear. Click the 'Users' tab, and make sure that "Include 
all users ..." is checked. Then, click on the 'Security' tab, and check 
'Enable automatic login'. Then, just below that, select the user from 
the drop menu.

I'm a semi-newbie.   :)
