Download TweakUI from Microsoft. It will easily set your machine up for automatic logon.

Goto 'Control Panel' then to 'User Accounts'

click 'Change the way users log on or off'

make sure 'Use the welcome screen' is checked, this will stop the logon prompt from comming on.

Somtimes, the easy answer is the hardest to find.

Becca thats exactly what i need but it doesn't gimme the option to 'Change the way users log on or off'... i went onto user accounts and all it gives me is to add users or reset admin password or advanced settings manage passwords and user accounts...

At the command prompt type:
control userpasswords2

Go under HKey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Then create or change if it is there
String Key: "AutoAdminLogon" to 1 to enable or 0 to disable.


This tweak is also found in Windows Registry Guide, if you wish to download it.
