Avoiding XP sign on?

[Nick]

I know I've asked this before, and got an answer, but can I find the original thread I made on these forums? Can I hell...

Anyway, just done a fresh install of XP Pro, patched it all up and now I have to sign on everytime it boots.

There is a way to have a one user always automatically singed on but I can't remember how or where to find it. It's not the one involving TweakUI, its the one built into XP... help!

You mean you have one user account which has no password, and you have to click to log in?

Start > Run > control userpasswords2

Untick "users must enter a username and password"

I'm sure you can get programs to do it but I just edit the registery manually. Wack this into a .reg file (edited for your needs) and run it. hey presto. Only problem being anyone with access to your registry can find out your password.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"DefaultUserName"="USERNAME"
"DefaultPassword"="PASSWORD"
"AutoAdminLogon"="1"

you can download TweakUI from microsoft - its has auto login features.

or just set a blank password for the user account
