Can anyone tell me how to boot into Vista without a login screen?

Thanks.

Looks like you can do it but then you can't share it on the network. =[

If it works, that seems like a solution in order to keep in on the domain.

i vlited my copy of vista 64, and I believe there was a no-login option on there somewhere.

my setup boots right to the desktop (no login) and i've still got network access

start - RUN

(if it is not there, hit the Windows key and the R key at the same time)

type in the following

control userpasswords2


uncheck the box that says " users must enter a username and password to log on"
click OK
type in the username and password (leave it blank if there isnt one) of the user you want to automatically log in as.

Are you familiar with using nlite / vlite to strip down windows XP / Vista to make it boot faster and take up less disc space?  Check this thread to learn about it:

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=59373.0 (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=59373.0)

It's about nlite (which is for XP).  vlite is the same sort of thing except it's for vista.
