See my username when log off

[magmag]

Hi,

I'm the only user/account on my PC so I don't need any extra security in Windows (to speed up the loading process). Today I did a new installation of Windows 7 and I miss something from my old setup:

In old setup, whenever I log off Windows, I was seeing my picture & username and all I do was hitting ENTER to be back again on business!

In new setup, whenever I log off Windows, I'm seeing a blank frame containing no picture, & 2 empty fields for username/password. It's more boring for me because I have to type my username then press enter to log in again (I don't have password) which is a hassle for me.

I'd like to have the old behaviour back so that all I do is pressing Enter only!

Thanks

Set it this way, see if it helps.

Thanks guys but unfortunately this isn't what I need because I have already my machine boots me straight to desktop without prompting me.

What I'm talking about is that when I'm working normally on my PC and I tweak some system settings that need me to logoff and on again, then when I do so, I get empty username/password fields (see attachment plz) so I have to type in my username and press enter (No password I assigned) rather than what I used to do in my old setup where my username and picture where already there and all I need to logon again was hitting ENTER! That's all I need but I don't know how?!

Not wanting to be nosy but what are you tweaking that requires you to login again??

 

[magmag]

e.g. some settings concerning taskbar (e.g. tweaking how many milliseconds required before the jump list appears...etc). That sort of thing

I am not real sure what a jump list is only that clicking anything on my taskbar is almost instantaneous - if that is what you mean and this is now a four year old machine

The point is that I'm just doing some nitty gritty things that needs to logoff and back on again to see the effect!. All I care about is the convenience of logon again with just an Enter key because I used to have my default username there when I logoff, in my old windows setup, but now I have to enter it everytime!. I just yearn to the old setup and wish if I can get the same behaviour back!

Anyway, I found the solution after more and more digging around. Here it is if someone is interested!

I see now and I do not know personally but this may give you some idea and if you post in that tutorial Brink a brilliant fellow to say the least may be able to put you on the right track if this does not cover it. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/377-log-automatically-startup.html
