switch autologon users

[dud2k]

hey,
under win2k, does anyone know how to make it autologon as my power-user instead of administrator?
thanks.

Use Tweak UI to auto-logon under any name you like.

First, change logon setting to users must log on. Then turn it off and a windows will appear asking who the autologon user is to be. You can then enter any user you wish.

Oh yeah, forgot about that way. Much simpler. 🙂

Edit HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon values:

AutoAdminLogon = DWORD value 1
DefaultUserName = MyPowerUserName
DefaultPassword = MyPowerUsersPassword

Yes, the password will be stored in cleartext.

Or, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q234562.

heh, but why bother to go to all that work when you can just use the Users Control Panel?
