I'm not sure to understand what you are trying to achieve. When Tails starts it goes through a set of configuration screens called Tails Greeter, see http://tails.boum.org/doc/first_steps/startup_options/#index2h1. At first sight, setting autologin bypasses Tails Greeter. I think that's a pretty bad idea as I'm not pretty sure you will end up with a broken system. Because Tails Greeter does actually more than collecting configuration information and manipulates the root password, network devices, etc. All of this is not really documented on the website, as users are not supposed to play with that. If you want to understand better what it does you should have a look at the code: http://git.tails.boum.org/greeter In order to have the Windows camouflage enabled by default, I think the way forward would be to create a new persistence feature to remember that setting. -- sajolida
