Auto Login Registry Sample

You may encounter situations where you need to have a computer auto-login.  This works well for Windows 2003, XP.  I have not had a chance to test this for Vista, 7, or 2008 servers.  Drop me a note if you find it works for these.

Create a registry file (use a text editor, or whatever, with a .reg extension).

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"DefaultDomainName"="computernamegoeshere"
"DefaultUserName"="administrator"
"AutoLogonCount"=dword:0000000b
"ForceAutoLogon"="1"
"AutoAdminLogon"="1"
"DefaultPassword"="unsecure password"

Enter in the appropriate values that exist for your computer.  Just remember, the password is easily found and is not encrypted.  Be wise in your usage.
