However, if you open up the Registry Editor and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\ and follow these steps. - Set AutoAdminLogon = 1 (create it if doesn't exist its a string variable) - Set DefaultUserName = your username (create it if doesn't exist its a string variable) - Set DefaultPassword = your password (create it if doesn't exist its a string variable)You should be able to follow the instructions above. Please give it a try and post back if you encounter any difficulties.Thanks! Lee — did a little research and you are correct this feature is not native to Windows 7.

and follow these steps.
– Set AutoAdminLogon = 1 (create it if doesn’t exist its a string variable)
– Set DefaultUserName = your username (create it if doesn’t exist its a string variable)
– Set DefaultPassword = your password (create it if doesn’t exist its a string variable)

You should be able to follow the instructions above. Please give it a try and post back if you encounter any difficulties.

I wish it were; was a great tool. I used it to enable CAD "3 finger" logins for further security. I haven't even found that feature in Win 7 yet. Thanks.

Now when I hit a key to bring my screen back up, there's where it requires me to click on a user acct & tells me a program is running under my account. Any suggestions on how to remove it? Thanks!
