Isn’t Autologon from Sysinternals better?
Pasword is encrypted. Windows XP has the password to autologon in registry as plain text…
Roman, it’s a good utility. But we are not sure if it works on Windows 7 or not. However, this guide is useful when you don’t want to use any third party software.
perfect help — thanks!!!!
I did exactly as shown but that stupid logon window still comes on after a few minutes wish I could go back to XP or VISTA
Works for me, but only after power-up. Still get the logon screen coming-up from “sleep” or “hibernate”
Go into Control Panel>Power Options>Advanced Power Options and disable the Password on Resume option.
I ran this as you instructed and it totally screwed up my computer. I couldn’t get system restore to work. Any suggestions, please?
Thanks
thanks. very helpful
