Login to your user account automatically when you start your computer

Applies to Windows XP Pro and Windows Vista

Why would you want to login to your user account automatically?

Notes:

• Obviously you can only automatically login to one user account at a time, therefore one username can only be set to automatic. To change which account you want to login to you must disable the previous one by replacing the tick in the box Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.
• Just remember that if you set your computer to automatic login then anyone who turns your computer on can access your user account and all the files and folders.
