:angry: Okay, I know how to sort out autologin on a Windows XP machine with TweakUI. I've done it before and it's worked flawlessly... but for some god forsaken reason, on my new XP machine it'll only work the first time after I've set it. Any boot ups after that, the login screen re-appears! :'( What on earth is going wrong/am I doing wrong? Can anyone please hep me? |

I also set it manually through the windows registry. To do that all you have to do is: 1. Start -> Run -> regedit 2. Once regedit is up go and browse to this tree node HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon There should be three string values in order for the Windows auto login to work AutoAdminLogon - set this to 1 DefaultUserName - set this to the windows user you want to automatically log in as DefaultPassword - set the user above's password here If these strings are here are some are missing right click and go to New -> String Value This has never failed me in 2000, XP or Vista and been doing it this way for over 10 years. Good luck! |

You can also do this via Start -> Run -> control userpasswords2 |
