Autologon Normal User Account (not administrator)

[templetonpeck]

I'm having an issue with Windows XP Pro, where it does an autologo onto the administrator account, instead of a user account I made.

Any idea how to fix it, so it use the user account to logon instead of the administrator account?

I did all the Windows update and then it decided I needed to choose an account at every startup to login, so I used control userpasswords2 to stop that, but then it chose the administrator account to autologon as, instead of the user account I made.

The administrator account is just the default one created by Windows XP and I do not wish to remove it/alter it.

Try the Autologon feature in TweakUI.

You'll also like the other shortcuts in there. They make registry changes without having to access the registry.
