Auto Login Windows XP
Filed in: Tips n Tricks — October 2nd, 2004
After you have created two or more Windows user account in Windows XP, you greet by a login screen with the list of user accounts at start up. No more auto login to Windows.
It is rather troublesome(ok, I am lazy) that we need to manually click on the (default)user account to login Windows…
Well, I found a trick.
Auto login Windows XP
- Click Start -> Run, and type: control userpasswords2
- From Users Tab, Uncheck “Users must enter a username and password to use this computer.” and click “OK” button.
- A “Automatically Log On” dialog will appear to ask for the default(used for auto login) user account’s username and password. After filled in, click “OK” button and you are done!

Thought:
This trick is good if you have a limited access user account for anyone else in the house/office. Set auto login using the common account then the others users no need to do the extra clicking.
