Hi !
I’m old school, that’s for sure. And, when I’m in the process of setup a demo machine, and I need the machine to auto login on start, I always open the registry, navigate to this location, and do some magic.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
However, there is an easier way, a much more easier way. Our friends from sysinternals released a tool that automates this with this simple screen.
Autologon enables you to easily configure Windows’ built-in autologon mechanism. Instead of waiting for a user to enter their name and password, Windows uses the credentials you enter with Autologon, which are encrypted in the Registry, to log on the specified user automatically. Autologon is easy enough to use. Just run autologon.exe, fill in the dialog, and hit Enable. To turn off auto-logon, hit Disable.
Happy coding!
Greetings
