Automatic Login

[Allan Snow]

Is there anyway to setup Windows 2000 Pro (actually XP) to automatically login to a specific account when it is booted up.

Hi Allan,

I did it with Windows 2000 but not XP.
Edit the Registry
HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWinLogon

Add or edit the keys:
AutoAdminLogon=1
DefaultDomainName=YourDomain
DefaultUserName=YourDesiredUser
DefaultPassword=YourDesiredUsersPassword

Regards

Thomas

During the install you get to choose...
Always login as the same user
or login as a different user

After the install...

***Open Users and Passwords in Control Panel.***

On the Users tab, do one of the following:

Click the Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer check box to require users to provide this information when they log on.
Clear the Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer check box to allow a user to automatically log on. You will be prompted to provide the name and password of the user who will be automatically logged on each time the computer starts

This is Windows 2000 .... XP should be similar

Good Luck
