i have a load of windows XP pcs, i want them to boot directly in to Citrix and the published desktop i have, i dont want the users to have to boot up, log in then connect to citrix to get there desktops.
Have a look at ThinStation. It's a linux based thin client OS that you can boot from the HDD or a CD (I've even done it with a memory stick)and allows you to do just this.
You can also set your XP clients to run a specific app defined in a GPO or local machine policy, this way when the user quits the Citrix session they are automatically logged off the XP client.
You are saying you don't want a user account/password on the XP client or on the Citrix server? I am going to assume I am reading this wrong and the users will have a login/password on the XP client. If this is the case, just configure pass-thru authentication so the users account info will be picked up from the XP client and used to automatically log into the Citrix session.

nath01,
Shelaunch is another application that will let you change the shell on your Windows workstation.
It will actually present a "Connection Manager" screen instead of the regular Windows shell.
That way the end-user only sees the configured ICA or RDP connections.
The app is called "SheLaunch".
