How To Auto-Logon To A User Account At Startup!

Here's a handy way to auto-logon to your Vista/Windows7 desktop.

Please note that I do not recommend this for live systems. I use it purely for test machines, that I access remotely and tend to reboot quite a lot.
  1. Click on the Start button and type in ‘netplwiz‘. This will open the Advanced User Accounts menu
  2. In the Users tab, highlight the account you want to login to Vista automatically with, and then untick ‘must enter a username and password to use this computer’
  3. Click on ‘Apply’. A new window will now popup asking you to enter the password of the account you’ve just highlighted. Do this, and then click ‘Ok’
  4. Click ‘Ok’ on the Advanced User Accounts menu to finish
