Auto Login

[Paul]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

I have downloaded the Microsoft Tweak UI from the Microsoft website to use
the auto login function.

I hate having to click on my name to log me in everytime I start up me pc.

I have turned to auto login function on with the Tweak UI program but it
never seems to work.

Everytime I restart my machine I have to click me name.

Is there a way this can be set so it auto logs me in when I switch my pc on?

Cheers

Paul

You can use the following steps to enable automatic logon:

1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type: control userpasswords2 , and then click OK.
3. In the dialog box that appears, clear the "Users must enter a user name
and password to use this computer" check box, and then click OK.
