Autologon in XP pro

[ViolentGreen 0]

I have one user at my log on screen and this user is not password protected. My machine would automatically log this user on until I installed some borland developement apps. Apparently the install process created another user. This user is not shown at the login screen but I can see it though the user managment console. This is the only thing that could have effected the autologon.

 

How can I get the autologln functional again.

Thanks! I'll try that when I get off work.

Any idea where the setting is in TweakUI? I believe I have looked there before but with no luck

It's under login->autologin. I'm not sure if it's only in the newer tweakui or not. To get it, search for powertoys on microsoft's site.

It's a registry setting as well.

 

Look in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon for the following strings:

 

AutoAdminLogon = 1

DefaultUserName = username

DefaultPassword = password

DefaultDomain = computer name or domain

 

Hope this helps.
