There’s an easy way to configure a specific user account to always log on when starting Vista. If you’re not concerned about anyone else using your computer, or whathe might see or access if you got up for a latte after booting your machine, this can help smooth the startup process.
1. From the Start menu, type netplwiz and then launch the application of the samename. The User Accounts dialog box appear.
2.Uncheck the “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer”checkbox, and click Apply.
3. You’ll now see the “Automatically log on” dialog box. From here, type the nameof the account and the password for the account for which you want to enableauto-logon.
4. Click OK and then OK again to commit the changes.
To reverse course, just open the same netplwiz application once again and recheckthe checkbox.
