Windows: Modify the Registry to allow Windows XP to log on automatically

Each time before entering the Windows XP desktop, there will always be a user login screen, requiring you to enter the user name and password. The advantage of this is that security is guaranteed in the environment where many people use a computer. However, if the computer is only used by you, you must enter the password every time. This is really annoying. To cancel this logon step, you can modify the Winlogon project in the Registry file. However, it is necessary to remind everyone before modification that the consequence of this is that your password will be stored in the registry file in plain text. In other words, as long as someone can open your registry file, then he will know your login password. If you still want to change the configurations, follow these steps:

Step 2: run the Registry Editor, expand the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon] branch, and double-click defauserusername in the right window ", enter your logon username. If you do not have a preset user name, you can click "Edit> New> string value (s)> DefaultUserName" in the menu bar of the Registry Editor to add this item. Note that it is case sensitive.

Step 2: In this branch, double-click "defaultpassword" in the right window of the Registry Editor, and enter your password in the blank column. If "defaultpassword" is not found, you can follow the steps above to create the string value.

Step 2: Double-click "AutoAdminLogon" in the right window and set the value to "1 ". If "AutoAdminLogon" is not found, follow the steps above to create a logstore.

Close the Registry Editor and restart your computer. Then you will find that the annoying logon dialog box is missing.
