Auto Login to a specific account

[MiloFoxburr]

Ok this should be simple for you lot Wanna make my laptop log onto my account automatically when system starts theres currently only one account that can be selected when you get to the login screen so its annoying having to select it every time

Followed some of the guides google gave me but none of em do the trick or I missing stuff they say I should have

If I do

Start Run control userpasswords2
And untick the user must enter a password blah blah blah option on the screen that pops up it logs into the admin account which isnt the account I want it to log onto

Thanks
Milo

which setup of login are you using? welcome screen or not?

if your using the welcome screen and only have 1 user + no password it shld auto logon to that one.

I'm not sure about this but its worth a try.

Make sure that there is only one account and that theres no password.

Make 100% sure that the "guest" account is disabled - i think that this might make the difference.

If that doesn't work then i suggest a hammer.

think the hammer option is more along the lines of making a mess on the floor
