Windows ME AutoLogin

[vza]

I am having problems autologging in Windows ME. I inserted the following String Values into the following Registry Key: (actually also tried using TweakUI but it still will not work)

HKLM > Software > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > WinLogon

AutoAdminLogin "1"
DefaultUserName "xxxx"
DefaultPassword "xxxx"

Although these values are set I am still prompted to login.
I also tried adding this DWORD Value to the registry within the following Key:

HKLM > Software > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Network > Real Mode Net

AutoLogon "0x0000000 (0)"

This entry solved the login issue (no more prompt) but Windows Me is not logged in using my default user...as a matter of fact no one is logged in at all....for example if I tried to use Net Use in the command prompt I would get an error saying that no one was logged in.

My main question is...how can I get AutoLogin to work using the username and password I WANT??? I have been trying to work with this for 2 days now...it is very frustrating....
Any responses would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Figured out problem.
When creating a new user in Windows Me
Windows automatically adds Microsoft Family Logon to Network Properties. Remove this feature and Autologin works fine. THe AutoLogon Registry key value is not necessary.

Where is my star at??

You'll get a star when you tell someone something that they don't already know. Once you set it to windows logon, type a name, set the password to blank, that's it, it doesn't prompt again. Don't think a star is warranted for using the wrong logon client.
