go straight to desktop when powering on

1. Welcome to Windows 7 Forum


If I understand you correctly. You want to hit the power button and walla there's the desktop showing?
You want to bypass the password box and the 60+/- seconds it takes to load everything correct?
Why not leave it on or put in sleep mode while you are away? IMHO

As far as I know the fastest anyone has been able to make their computer reach the desktop from a complete shut off is like 24 seconds or something.

Sleep mode is going to be your best bet.

Or, if saving power isn't a big deal for you, you can always turn off any power saver options and just turn off your monitor, that would be the absolute FASTEST way :)

i would like to know how to completely bypass any graphics or pictures or words of any kind when i turn on my computer and go right to the desktop.as you might guess from the question i am extremely impatient

Something like this?

Log On Automatically at Startup

Or what has already been suggested.

That was going to be my next suggestion.
But what is the rationale behind doing something like this?

Personal preference mostly, my big valley friend.

Of course anyone can then access your computer, so it's not the recommended

method, but each of us has our own preferences, I don't mind the logon myself.

That's what I thought about it being "it's not the recommended method"
Opens your computer and all valuable stuff to invader's.
