RC1 Auto Login / 'control userpasswords2'

[Don Lindbergh]

RC1 appears to ignore the changes made via start,run,control userpasswords
2, which worked in previous builds.

Is there any way to do an auto login on boot?

ight click Computer, click on Manage, go to the users groups, double click
on Administrator and just uncheck Account is disabled. That's it, from
that
point you will have access to the Admin account at logon.

Thanks, but that doesn't seem to address my actual question.

Your suggested method doesn't auto login, but brings me to a login screen
with choice for two users, the Administrator and the account I created.

Are you suggesting I run as user Administrator? That certainly isn't ideal
but I'd consider it as long as the account can have a password and still
auto login.

I use remote desktop so an account without a password isn't an option (nor
would I want such a thing).

What I really want is to be able to have the account I created auto login as
it did in previous versions of Vista as well as XP.

Yes. I'm with you. But on thinking about it, I may be wrong but I do not see
how you could fix up an autologon if you have a password. Would't it be
contradictory? Back to your original question. It being a Beta, as soon as I
had achieved my object and logged on as Administrator, I cancelled my User
account - thus the (now) auto logon. I can see you have a different problem.
Reading around the many forums, there does not appear to be any way to
autologon to a user account in Vista, with or without a password. In my case,
itm being on test, the thought of attack etc does not bother me too much as I
would probably just reinstall.
