JSI Tip 0004 - Bypass the WinNT Logon Prompt.

If you want to autolog a user, both TweakUIand the Resource Kit utility AUTOLOG.EXE will do it foryou. To configure this using the registry, edit:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsNTCurrentVersionWinlogon

Set the DefaultDomainName, DefaultPassword(must be non-blank), and DefaultUserName. Set AutoAdminLogonto 1 (all are type REG_SZ). If you ever want to logon asa different user, hold down the shift key as you logoff.

If you implemented Tip025, undo it.

Note:Yourpassword is stored in plain text in the registry and can be seenby someone with the authority to view a remote registry.

NOTE: See tip 3513.
