Hello Everyone,

Is there any way to make Windows XP automatically log on a user without making the necessary adjustments in the Registry manually?

TweakUI-

Or I believe that if you don't have any other users on the machine, just administrator, and it doesn't have a password, I think it does. But I could be thinking of the home version.

Sure - but only if the windows machine is NOT part of a domain.

Click start > Run and type:
CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2

Then unclick where is says "Users must enter a username and password to use this computer"

If you are using Windows XP Home I remember something about problems arising if you do this logging in with the administrator account but I cant remember exactly.

Hope that helps.
