Auto login

[Django]

Can anybody tell me how to tweak XP to auto login?? What I mean is that when I turn on the pc I have to click the login button every time I turn on the machine. I just want to hit the power on the pc and let Windows login by itself.

• Click Start, click Run, and type "control userpasswords2".
  
  * Clear the Users must enter a username and password to use this computer check box.
  
  * Click Apply.
  
  * Enter the user name and password you wish to automatically log on with, and then click OK.
  
  * Click OK again and you're all done.

Can't you just turn off the "Welcome" screen under User Accounts?

Tried that and it gives you the secure login screen then. It wouldn't recognize userpasswords2 when I typed it into run.

It's "control userpasswords2". Don't forget the "control" for "control panel"

Ok got it, I didn't think that was part of it since every other time I used run I only typed in one word.

you can always download Tweak UI and set Windows to auto log in
