"Hacking" the registry -- what a laugh. That is like saying you are going to "hack" a text file or it is "hacking" to change a database record. Despite what you may have been lead to believe, the registry is not some mystical collection of spells and incantations. The registry is a database of settings -- nothing more. Your computer will not auto-destruct if you edit the registry. Go to the Microsoft Knowledge Base (http://support.microsoft.com) and search for just about anything. Chances are better than 70% that it will include a registry change. In the case of the original question in this thread, Q310584 is the answer. You don't need any additional tools or help. It takes like 30 seconds to enable AutoAdminLogon for a computer. Do you have any idea how hard it is to ACCIDENTALLY make a registry change that breaks Windows? A program that I wrote, "Multi-Remote Registry Change" (http://www.eytcheson.com/mrrc.htm) is in use at tens of thousands of companies around the world and has made billions of registry changes. I have NEVER had a single user report that they have experienced a problem because they changed a registry setting. I have personally made millions of registry changes and have never managed to make a registry change that adversely affected the OS. If you know what you are doing, then the registry is a tool like any other. The sooner you learn to MANAGE the registry, the sooner you can become an effective NT/2000 administrator.
