How To: Auto Login in Windows Vista

Something really simple, I know - but probably Microsoft’s effort to make the OS secure-by-default, they buried the automatic login options deep down.

To enable automatic login, press start and type “control usedpasswords2” (yes can be done in the search box on the start menu). This dialog will pop up:

Enabling automatic login in Windows Vista

What you have to do is to click on the user that you want the PC to log on with automatically, and remove the tick on the “Users must enter user name and password to use this computer”. Press OK and it will ask for the password of the selected user.

Enter the password and you’re good to go!

Fird: Should be, because this was from Windows XP’s, which happened to work on Vista :p
