Auto-Login Registry Hack WinXP Home Edition

If you have WinXP home edition, like i do (at home anyway), it's annoying cuz there's that wussy fruit-cake login screen. So when u turn on ur computer, it asks you to log in, then u get in and have to wait again.

it's better to just hit the power button, walk away, come back and it be ready to use.

so to counter this, open up this registry key:

HKLM\SOFTWAREMicrosoft\WindowsNTCurrentVersion\Winlogon

Create/Edit DefaultUserName and DefaultPassword to = ur login/pword.

Create/Edit AutoAdminLogin (String value), set the value to 1

and boom, simple as that.

I guess I could make an app that does that for you (like i did for the max download hack), but this is super easy, i'll let u figure it out.

(btw, the date on this post is wrong by 9 days, i wanted the George Gallaway post to be on top.)
