Hi

Does anyone know if there is a registry key that
determines whether a password is required at boot up.

i.e can you set W2K up so that no password is required to
us it?

Hi

Some registry edits will enable AutoLogon for NT4/Win2k/WinXP:

If you use TweakUI to configure autologon the password is encrypted in the
registry, at least that is what is stated here:
