Thanks for the help, Ben... Still doesn't work after the first reboot. I followed all these instructions, several times, used tweakUI in XP power tools, even set a password in case that would. It works the first time, but that's it.

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. ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
