Many friends know that running "rundll32 Netplwiz.dll,usersrundll" (note case) or "Control Userpasswords2" in Windows XP can open a window called "User account". Here provides a simple account management interface, not only can add, delete accounts, it also provides a very useful unique features: Check the login account, uncheck "To use this computer, users must enter a username and password", you can achieve Windows XP automatic login (Figure 1). In addition, switching to the Advanced tab, checking "Require users to press Ctrl-alt-delete", lets Windows XP, like Windows 2003, force the Ctrl+alt+del key to appear in front of the login prompt to secure the system.
