Note: These are instructions for Auto-Logon to Windows, but it also
allows you to set the default user name, password, and domain name.
Setting the default domain name to local will accomplish the task you
have asked.
Auto Logon to a Windows NT Machine (Windows NT/2000)
Windows NT includes a feature that allows you to automatically logon
to
the machine and network, bypassing the Winlogon dialog box.
To enable this function you need to add several new values to the
[HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] key.
1. Add a new string value named 'DefaultUserName' and set it to the
username you wish to automatically logon as.
2. Add a new string value named 'DefaultPassword' and set this to the
password for the user entered above.
3. Add a new string value named 'DefaultDomainName' and set this to
the
domain of the user. Ignore this value if the NT box is not
participating in NT Domain security.
4. Add a new string value named 'AutoAdminLogon' and set it to either
'1' to enable auto logon or '0' to disable it.
Exit and restart, Windows should not ask for a password and
automatically show the desktop of the user.
Note: The password is stored in registry, which means anyone who has
access to the machine has access to the password.
Note: You can bypass this function by holding down the SHIFT key
during
the boot or logoff process.
It is also important to note that if the DontDisplayLastUserName value
is enabled, the auto logon feature does not function. |
