How to set up automatic login

Now I'll tell you how to save the password in the registry so that your computer can perform an automatic login to Windows 7. This saves you from having to enter your own account password every time you start the device. By the way, this method is also suitable for performing automatic login to Windows XP. The principle of the settings in these two operating systems is exactly the same. This will make your work much more convenient.

But I want to warn you immediately that in this case the security of your data is great. After all, having configured automatic login, you will allow anyone who has the ability to turn on the computer to view all the files and folders on this device. Also, you should pay attention to the fact that for this purpose you will have to edit the registry. Therefore, if you make a mistake somewhere, serious problems may appear in the system, which may entail the reinstallation of the entire operating system.

Click the "Start" button that is familiar to you. Now in the search bar you will need to enter "regedit". When you do this, press enter. Now in the registry window you need to find HKEY LOCAL MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon. Here, double click on DefaultUserName, then enter your user name, then confirm by clicking on "OK." In the case when there is no such parameter on the computer, you must create it in the following way. Go to the "Edit" menu, where you select the commands in the serial parameter - "Create", and after that "String parameter". After that, enter the DefaultPassword and confirm with the input. Double-click on the parameter just entered - and then enter your own password in the "Change String Parameters" box, then confirm with the "OK" button.

The next step in order to activate automatic login will be the selection of the "New" commands along with the "String parameter" in the "Edit" menu. Now enter "AutoAdminLogon" and press the enter key. When it appears, double click on it. In the window enter the value "1" and confirm "Ok". All the data and settings you have entered are preserved, so now the Registry Editor needs to be closed.

After all this, it is necessary to complete the work by first writing down the reason in the "Note" line. After rebooting your machine, automatic logon will be active. In order to interrupt the procedure and log in under a different login, you must hold the Shift key after restarting or terminating the session.

Also, you should be warned that if you enter a splash screen on the server computer as a group or local policy object to enter the working network, automatic logon will not be enabled. For this function to work properly, you need to change the policy so that it can not affect the server.

As you have already seen, there is nothing supernatural and complicated in the settings. Therefore, if you follow all instructions clearly and you execute them without errors, the computer or laptop will automatically enter under your name, which will save you from permanently entering a secret password. If in the future you will need to enter the system using a password, you can always disable automatic profile download without entering the key. The material on how to do this can be found on the Internet, so there is no need to describe it here.
