Start bootcamp VM without Authentication?

Is there any way to boot a boot camp partition (XP) without OSX prompting for authentication every time you start the VM?

The doc says "You 'may' be prompted" ... well I am ALWAYS prompted to auth when booting a bootcamp vm.

How do you get around this. I need my system to restart, load parallels, load the vm and boot it without any intervention.

There has to be a way?
 
To update...

I have created an automator workflow that will perform two steps:

1.) pause 20 seconds

2.) Launch the Parallels application.

I save this as an automator application and then install this as a login item for my account in sys prefs.

Upon a reboot, the automator workflow runs, and loads parallels, the VM attempts to load and start, but I have the Authentication nag screen then appear.

My goal, is to be able to reboot my mac, and have parallels auto start load the vm and start the vm without any user intervention. I do not want to have to submit credentials to get the boot camp partition to start.

I realize with a non-boot camp vm this is not an issue. But I have my reasons for requiring bootcamp for my vm.

Does anybody have a way to do this?
