If you don't want to keep your password in plain text in registry (may be accessed by everyone even via network in domain environment) look at LogonExpert autologon tool. It keeps your credentials AES 256bit encrypted.
I tried what was suggested in the Unattended Intermediate Guide, to create a user and allow auto logon.
The user is created. All three net command return : The command completed successfully.
But the DefaultUserName is not changed.
Any suggestions / corrections ?
Thanks.
net user "My_User_Name" "" /add net localgroup Administrators "My_User_Name" /add net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited REGEDIT /S autologon.reg EXIT
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.1 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "DefaultUserName"="My_User_Name" "DefaultPassword"="" "AutoAdminLogon"="1"
Problem with Auto Logon : DefaultUserName does not change
in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
