Auto log on

[Terry]

I was look for an auto log on like I used with XP called Power Toys for XP.
found an auto log on at:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Security/Autologon.mspx

However when I run it I get the error “Could Not Write DefaultUser nameâ€.

I was using my ID and password, I am the only user and a administrator.

Does this auto log on work only with the Administrator ID? Or is there
another reason it will not install?

You don't need to use a utility to accomplish this.

Press WINKEY+R and type: control userpasswords2 and press Enter.

Select the account you want to logon with and remove the checkmark from the
"Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" option.

Click Apply. Enter your password twice. Click OK twice.

Restart the computer and it should go right to your desktop.

Thanks but I cannot find WINKEY, I tried your command from the run command
but nothing happend.

Hope you can tell me where winkey is, thanks

WINKEY = "The key on the keyboard with the Microsoft Windows logo on it"
