Windows 7: Log On Automatically at Startup

Hello Brink,
I used this procedure for my Mom's computer and due to some circumstances, I want to undo these steps. It might be the chicken or the egg, but I'm not sure what to do first or in what order it should be done.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Greg

Hello Greg,

No worries. You would just need to check the Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer box to turn off automatic log on to a user account.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Daaa.....that's way to easy. I might even fumble through that one.

As usual, this site has come through again for me. Thanks so much, I'll take care of that this weekend.

Thanks Brink!

You're most welcome Greg.

Just wanted to thank you for this post. Using a HTPC and set it up so it shuts down automtically at night and boots up by it self in the morning. The login screen was a real nuisance!!

You're most welcome Roberto, and welcome to Seven Forums.

This was massively important for me to read! I have a network that may allow for possible security risks, but being the only user of my computer and working down the list found here:

Optimize Windows 7

I decided to turn off my password...

...then I found this step in the list shortly afterwards. Kind of funny, and so I followed the steps to allow automatic log-in, but what I am going to do now is make sure I create a password for my administrator account again to provide added security over the network.

Thanks

I cant get this to work..There are different things other the sc shots and I'm very computer smart to start with.....

Hello Clayp,

Could you post back with a few screenshots showing what you are seeing instead?

Brink I got it to work..Thank you.
