Can I auto-login to an account on Windows 7??

StevieP · 10 May 2009 at 22:42

I've recently reinstalled the release candidate of Windows 7 and have added a second user profile for my wife - trouble is it boots up and asks me which account I want to log into but I just want it to log into my profile by default - is there any way to do this??

I did it under Vista by typing "control userpasswords2" into the run box and changing a setting but it doesnt seem to work under W7!?!?!

Any ideas??

Thanks....

Works fine for me, however you need to open a cmd window and then type it in, it doesnt work when trying to type it from the search field.

likewise worked for me. To expand on what ubern00b said, I suspect you need to run cmd with admin privileges. TBH I just used the run command (yes I still like to use that

) so dunno why it didn't work for you; but if it crashed w/o you shutting down normally after it might not have saved the changes

Edit: Unless your version of the run command is the search box on the start menu, I used the proper one
