USB Stick Logon?

We have a small lab of XP computers that have autologon enabled via a simple
registry hack.  All machines log in to a domain account automatically on a
reboot.

I need to logon to these machines as the local "admin" account every so
often.  I'm tired of holding down the shift key to override the auto-logon.

What I'd love is a way to insert a memory stick that would boot to windows
using the admin account:

1. Turn off machine
2. Plug in memory stick
3. Boot machine
4. Local admin account autologs in

Is this possible?

Plugging in a USB drive takes less effort than pressing the Shift key?

P.S. I sure hope you don't lose that USB drive.

I will neither debate or defend my motives or laziness about this subject...

Is this feasible and if so, how is the question...
