Didn’t even consider that because doing so on our domain is an automatic dismissal Then again OP did not mention wether or not the pc is on a domain.

Depending on the policy the option to untick prompt for password may not be available and it’s too annoying playing with the registry. Just use this Auto Login tool as I’ve used several times and works on Windows Carl’s reply is how we do this on our machines.

We only do this on thin clients not connected to a domain or network. I second AutoLogon, I use it on a couple machines and it works great. Simple and straight forward. The registry setting work also. This site has directions on how to do the registry hack. Use option 2 when on the site.

Most of the functionality of that program seems to have been carried over into Ultimate Windows Tweaker but, alas, at least for Windows 7, that AutoLogin feature is not available like it was in TweakUI.

We had a workstation for the offshore guys in my old company. So we created a dummy account with no access to anything but those two pages, set it to auto login using the Registry above. Worked out great.

Even though the PC was on a domain, the domain account it logged in with had zero access. And the machine itself was in a secure location away from the public. Otherwise, this would have been a no go. A nice little plus of autologon is that the password is not stored in plain text in the registry. We use autologon for several reasons around here. You’d favour a machine logged in, making it unsecure, over just having the service start automatically.

Normally a service is the best option, but I know in our cases it’s not. One way or another, if a user can get to the machine without a password, then the system should not have access to anything important. The fact the device has nothing of great importance on, isn’t what would bother me, it’s the fact this device is on the network, clearly and any persons who wish to use it, could also gain access to other devices on the LAN.

You’re limited to a max of 20 devices connecting to it legally, and you need to use IIS or windows file sharing. Where do you see this in the EULA?

I typed the snap-in’s name then found the username I wanted to change to autologin and unchecked the “Users must enter a password” box it will prompt you to type the password for that user twice. My setup was a bit trickier in that we use Novell and I had to put a few registry related hacks in play that would take that username’s network login and correctly attach its associated network drives. Couple that with Task Scheduler and I have the machines automatically setup to reboot 4 days of the week at 10pm and then shutdown on Fridays at the same time.
