How to skip Windows Login screen on Win 7 ultimate

Hi
I want to skip the login screen on Windows startup. i.e. not press enter, not press anything- I want the desktop to simply load on startup.

I've tried this solution which appears throughout the web and it has done nothing:
How To Automatically Login To Windows 7 (Skip Login Screen)

Perhaps this doesn't work on Windows 7 ultimate?
I've even unchecked "require a password when computer wakes" in the power settings to no avail.

Please assist. Thanks.

Thanks. Unfortunately still not working.

I just want to clarify a few things which may be relevant: My user is in the Administrators group. Besides it there are a few other users in the users list. Maybe old ones.

After doing all the above steps I still reach at startup the login screen with the picture and name of only my user. I just click on it and the desktop loads. There is no password needed. I don't think I ever had one.

On step 6 of your tuturial, on "Enter the User Account Password", I entered an empty password. Similarly I put an empty string in the DefaultPassword in the registery (step 4 of option 2 in the tutorial.) BTW, the DefaultPassword key indeed did not exist there prior to that.

That is correct. I don't have a password. My password is an empty string. I just tried now entering a new password in netplwiz but the result is the same.

Thank you for your help, Brink, but still doesn't work. Now I get to the same login screen and have to enter the password.
BTW, when I went again to the regedit to remove the defaultPassword it was allready gone again.

Maybe this has to do with user groups? My user is in "HomeUsers; Administrators". In any case I enter the netplwiz "as Administrator". Weird.
