[5lab]

..the damn windows logon and/or welcome screen? i dont want either - ive only got one user account (without password), guest is turned off. ive done it millions of times before :|

sorry for noobish question im just frustrated with it X|

Automatic logon eh

use TweakUI then go to logon tab tick the automatic logon box put your username and pass and thats it

[5lab]

you can do it without tweak as i have before - cant remember how thou :|

[!nfil]

[Start] [Run] [Regedit]
Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Modify/Create the Value Data Type(s) and Value Name(s) as detailed below.

Data Type: String Value // Value Name: DefaultUserName
Setting for Value Data: [Enter the account name to be automatically logged on]

Data Type: String Value // Value Name: DefaultPassword
Setting for Value Data: [Enter the account password]

Data Type: String Value // Value Name: AutoAdminLogon
Setting for Value Data: [0 = Disabled / 1 = Enabled]

Exit Registry and Reboot

start - run - control userpasswords2 - untick box.

It stumped me for a while too It beats tweak ui and registry editting

[5lab]

thats tha one i was after. dont spose you know the 'propper' way of getting to it?

[streetster]

in the "users and passwords" section of control panel.. what happens if you deselect the "users must enter a username and password to use this computer" box? i dont want to try it incase i cant login

wierd how it asks you when you install windows for the first time, but hides the option once you've made up your mind...

u can try to download the utility called TWEAKUI free from microsoft site. after that go to autologon and tick the box. u can also tune up other things qs well
