Here's how (Windows XP)
You can use Registry Editor to add your log on information. To do this, follow these steps:
Click
Start
, click
Run
, type regedit, and then click
OK
.
Locate the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Using your account name and password, double-click the
DefaultUserName
entry, type your user name, and then click
OK
.
Double-click the
DefaultPassword
entry, type your password under the value data box, and then click
OK
.
If there is no DefaultPassword value, create the value. To do this, follow these steps:
In Registry Editor, click
Edit
, click
New
, and then click
String Value
.
Type DefaultPassword as the value name, and then press ENTER.
Double-click the newly created key, and then type your password in the
Value Data
box.
Note: If the DefaultPassword registry entry does not exist, Windows XP automatically changes the value of the AutoAdminLogonregistry key from 1 (true) to 0 (false) to turn off the AutoAdminLogon feature after the computer is restarted.
Double-click the
AutoAdminLogon
entry, type 1 in the
Value Data
box, and then click
OK
.
If there is no AutoAdminLogon entry, create the entry. To do this, follow these steps:
In Registry Editor, click
Edit
, click
New
, and then click
String Value
.
Type AutoAdminLogon as the value name, and then press ENTER.
Double-click the newly created key, and then type 1 in the
Value Data
box.
Exit Registry Editor.
Click
Start
, click
Restart
, and then click
OK
.
After your computer restarts and Windows XP starts, you can log on automatically.
If you want to bypass the automatic logon to log on as a different user, hold down the SHIFT key after you log off or after Windows XP restarts. Note that this procedure applies only to the first logon. To enforce this setting for future logoffs, the administrator must set the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Here's How: (for Windows 7)
Click on Start and then enter the following
command
in the search box:
netplwiz
Press the ENTER key.
This command will load the
Advanced User Accounts
Control Panel applet
.
In the
Users
tab,
uncheck
the box next to Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.
Click on the Apply button at the bottom of the
User Accounts
window.
When the
Automatically Log On
dialog box appears, enter the user name you wish to automatically login to Windows 7 with. Then enter your account password in the two fields where it's asked.
Click the OK button.
Click OK on the
User Accounts
window to complete the process.
From now on, when your PC starts up, Windows 7 will log on automatically.
