Hi everybody

I thought I must respond to my own earlier posting just in case is proves
useful to some else.

In order to enable Automatic logon the following values must be set in the
registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

AutoAdminLogon = "1"
DefaultUserName = "administrator"
DefaultPassword = "whateverAdminPWD"

It is likely that AutoAdminLogon and DefaultPassword parameters are missing
from the registry in which case you must add them using the mouse right
click inside the right hand side pane of the window.

How did I find out?

danh suggested that I should use autolog.exe from the resource kit.  I did.
but I backed up the registry before using autolog.  I backed it up after
using autolog again, file compared (fc) the 2 and found out the keys.

Another Resource:

The same solution is also given in the MSDN Library April 98 in the latest
Dr GUI column.  I think it is #38.


I hope this helps
Nasser.
