auto-login with hibernate

D

Dick Chimenti

I have Windows XP Pro and powertoys allows me to set auto-login for my
administrator account. It's a single user system and it's convenient
not to have to enter a password each time I fire up. If I hibernate,
however, instead of shutdown then the auto-login doesn't work and I'm
forced to the login window. Any way around this?

Don't hibernate.
Seriously.

If the machine gets "locked" in any way (screensaver, hibernation, you
pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL and locking it, etc) while the machine is booted - you
*will* have to log on.
