Windows 8.1 autologin and search provider

[Cheetah Designs]

Is there anyway I can set Windows to automatically login to my Microsoft account?

I guess probably not on this one, but is there anyway I can change the default search provider to use google uk rather than bing?

Google is your friend

Autologin =

Start, Run
control userpasswords2

Untick 'users must type password', click Ok, then enter your password twice. click Ok, reboot.

I did actually get this far the first time. The thing that caught me out was that the username looked like a local one, not my Microsoft account, when it fact is removes the domain part of the Microsoft account username.

I also needed to go into the Metro settings to disable password prompt on wake.

I did actually do this, but in the Metro interface, is still says "Suggestions by Microsoft" or something to that accord. I thought it was using Bing there, but it turns out that it is using Google.


Thanks for the responses.
