Changing Win2K default login

[Dave Cullen]

Hey folks -

My PC was originally set to skip over the login / password screen and
assume that my primary account always logged in. I inadvertantly enabled
the Administrator account and now it wants me to log in as admin. How do
I put it back the way it was?

You can run regedit.exe, navigate to;
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
edit the Reg_Sz string values
"DefaultUserName"
and
"DefaultPassword"
to reflect the correct username and password.

Control Panel | Users and Passwords

Uncheck the box "Users must enter a user name ..."

Then specify which user is to be the default user.
