1boredguy Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 (edited) is it possible to do an "autologoncount=1" for an administrative account other than administrator?i've created a new account called "root" (so now i have two admin accts).i would like the autologon=1, autologoncount-1 to apply to the "root" account, not the administrator account.so... i want the following to just happen once. as it is now, autologon is on permenantly.Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]"DefaultUserName"="root""DefaultPassword"="asdf1234""AutoAdminLogon"="1" Edited July 7, 2005 by 1boredguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1boredguy Posted July 7, 2005 Author Share Posted July 7, 2005 well... guess there is no real benefit, using another admin account other than admin. was just wondering about it.it's just a "puzzle" for me. i can't solve it, so wonder if there's actually a reasonable solution.

mraeryceos Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Just trying to get this straight...----winnt.sif:AutoLogon Configures the computer to log on once with the Administrator account. AutoLogonCount Specifies the number of times that the computer automatically logs on with the specified Administrator account and password. ----HKLM //// logon:AutoAdminLogon = 1I'm pretty sure this means always logon the DefaultUserName user (if the user is an administrator) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrandonS_Mil Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 The only time my local admin ( not my account) is logged into is the first logon ( runonce) then from that point on, it is all my account... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drscouse Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 (edited) I believe you need to changeGuiUnattended]AutoLogon = YesAutoLogonCount = 1Yes to No.. this disables the auto logon to the default admin account... Ive just spent ages trying to do this myself, and succeded!!!! Edited September 17, 2005 by drscouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
