HORM and auto-logon

[Michael Bate]

Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong.

I have implemened HORM with EWF RAM REG, Autologon for Administrator,
Standard Logon (default user: Administrator).

Everything works fine for normal reboot: no logon screen.

But when I hibernate, I get the logon screen!!

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Michael,

I didn't test this but it seems like what you are after.

HTH,

Brad,

Thank you, but I looked at the link and I'm nervous.

The instructions are not straightforward. It lists a User Key (under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER) and a system key (under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE) followed
by a value name, data type, and value data.

Is this supposed to be added to both keys? The screen shot shows it
being added only to HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

To make matters worse, the keys do not exist. I would have to add three
new levels of keys (Windows\System\Power) to the user key
(\Software\Policies\Microsoft) and two new levels of keys (System\Power)
to the system key (\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows).

I don't mind editing the registry but all these changes make me nervous.

hi, you just need to uncheck the option "Prompt for password when
computer resumes from standby" under Control Panel-> Power Options ->
