No way around it if the administrator has it locked down – Sorry

Hello, This works great when booting the PC but not when resuming from screen saver if “On resume, display logon screen” is selected. Any suggestions for that?
Note: administrator has that option locked down.

Steve,

I am using Vista 32bit and am having a hard time booting to the desktop, like a did just a few short weeks ago. I have tried to undo everything I did and I still need to click on the user icon to get to the desktop. I have tried your freeware, going to control userpasswords2 to uncheck/check the “user must etc.”, created a password and deleted it and I still have to click on the user icon. I am the only one that is assigned to the computer, although there is a guest user but it is not active. Any ideas?

Thank you.

Thanks for the comment Jeremy…

I should have put a link in this article. We discovered this registry key too…and have updated our software to allow you to use it:

Yes, thank you greatly! Also found if you add a binary value called AutoLoginCount, and set the value to the number of times you want to autologin, you can setup this feature for a short period of time for testing… or updates in my case…

IE:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
“AutoLogonCount”=dword:00000005
“AutoAdminLogon”=”1″
“DefaultUserName”=”WhoEver”
“DefaultPassword”=”PanzyLeopard”
