Hi guys ,

I have 2 users - ( Roy and User ) both of them are administrators and both dont have passwords ... the problem is that each time win boots , i get the users logon screen and i have to choose between Roy and User , i want Roy to logon automaticly .... what is the reg file for this one ?

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]

"DefaultUserName"="roy"

"DefaultPassword"="royspassword"

"AutoAdminLogon"="1"

Thanks m8 !!! cant wait to test it !!!!

This tweak doesn't work for me.

There is no autologon.

Start > run > "control userpasswords2"

uncheck "require users to enter username and password to use computer"

enter the username and password.

Next time you start up, that user will be logged in.

There is no autologon.

Just add it manualy. We use that same setting here @ work.

Hi,

I have just the OPPOSITE question:

I installed Windows 2003 R2 from nLite customised CD, and it had Auto Logon ENABLED. Since it is Win 2003 server, I would like to remove this autologon feature.

BUT there is no Winlogon enttry in Registry, neither is any user in "control userpasswords2" dialog window checked to logon automatically. Any idea where is it set to logon and how to remove automatic logon?

No winlogon in the registry? I doubt it. If so, you have a lot more problems than just this. Have you looked in that exact spot? Try searching the registry for the string "defaultpassword" or something. That's bizzarre. Oh, but do all users on the machine have passwords?! If there's only one user, and they have no password, it might log on automatically.

I really discourage using autologon unless it's a computer that no-one else has physical access to, and you just can't bear to enter your password every time. But it's a bad idea.
