How to load desktop before logging in in Yosemite

[Dari]

I had to do a fresh install of OS X Yosemite after making the mistake of setting up Boot Camp in my MacBook. It slowed the computer down tremendously, especially wireless internet. Now, Yosemite is installed but I can no longer do an autologin then lock script I had before. After some research I've found out that LaunchAgents is no longer available. Any workaround to this?

This is what I used to do before:

With auto login turned on, if you had the option enabled to immediately require a password after the screen saver starts, then put an Automator app that starts the screen saver into your account login items, would that do the trick?

That could work but I prefer a simple script. However, beggars can't be choosers...
