The auto logon reverts back to 0? Have you put the logon info in Tweakui? Do you have the most current version of Tweakui? I was under the impression that tweakui loaded the info when it started and that you didn't have to have that stuff in the registry.
Here's another way to do it. The note on don't display last user name is interesting. Check on that. It's in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- To enable this function you need to add several new values to the key below. Add a new string value named 'DefaultUserName' and set it to the username you wish to automatically logon as. Add a new string value named 'DefaultPassword' and set this to the password for the user entered above. Add a new string value named 'DefaultDomainName' and set this to the domain of the user. Ignore this value if the NT box is not participating in NT Domain security. Add a new string value named 'AutoAdminLogon' and set it to either '1' to enable auto logon or '0' to disable it. Exit and restart, Windows should not ask for a password and automatically show the desktop of the user. Note: The password is stored in registry, which means anyone who has access to the machine has access to the password. Note: You can bypass this function by holding down the SHIFT key during the boot or logoff process. Note: It is also important to note that if the DontDisplayLastUserName value is enabled, the auto logon feature does not function. (Default) REG_SZ (value not set) AutoAdminLogon REG_SZ "1" DefaultUserName REG_SZ "jbloggs" DefaultPassword REG_SZ "blog123" DefaultDomainName REG_SZ "BLOGLAND" HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon Settings: System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] Name: AutoAdminLogon Type: REG_SZ (String Value) Value: (0=disable, 1=enable) Ben -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2004 8:47 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: PCWorks: Registry problem.. Thanks Ben, Same thing, it works the first time, then reverts back to "0". Jeff Dougherty Intrepid Video TV/VCR ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben Moore" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Why don't you use Tweakui to auto logon rather than a registry tweak? Ben Moore -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Good day. I did a tweak to the registry to force "autologon" for Windows XP. It works the first time I start my computer, than the value reverts back to 0. Also, when clicking links in OE I would have new window open each time and that goes away once in a while. I wonder if one of my programs like Norton or TweakUI is set to change the registry. Does anyone have any ideas? ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
