How can I have windows XP login automatically to a specific account? For example,if I wish to log in to account say "user" automatically after i restart my computer?

Someone please help!

Try this -

1. At the command prompt type: rundll32 netplwiz.dll,UsersRunDll

2. In the User Accounts dialog that appears, clear the "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" check box and click OK

3. Enter the user name and password of the account you want to automatically want to log on.

 

Have fun

 

Please note: This will not work if you are joinrd to a Domain.

Get TweakUI and use the Logon tab. works perfectly every time

Very cool, BUT is there a way to do it within windows (the OS) itself?

Also, where may i get TweakUI for XP?

TweakUI is part of the Powertoys package.
