Always Boot to Certain Profile
I've searched the web and also these forums. Maybe I'm not using the right search terms. I have two profiles on my computer (lets say A and B). Is there a way so that when my computer boots it always loads profile A without actually having to click profile A? Thanks in advance.

In Windows 7 Search box type MSCONFIG and press the Enter key. In the resulting System Configuration window, click on the Boot tab, click once on the desired entry and then click on Set as default.Carey Frisch

Windows 7 - Log On Automatically at Startup: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/377-log-automatically-startup.html Note: read the info at the top of the guide. Does this write the password in cleartext to the registry? I prefer the tool from mark: Introduction Autologon enables you to easily configure Windows’ built-in autologon mechanism. Instead of waiting for a user to enter their name and password, Windows uses the credentials you enter with Autologon, which are encrypted in the Registry , to log on the specified user automatically. Autologon is easy enough to use. Just run autologon.exe, fill in the dialog, and hit Enable. To turn off auto-logon, hit Disable . Also, if the shift key is held down before the system performs an autologon, the autologon will be disabled for that logon. You can also pass the username, domain and password as command-line arguments: autologon user domain password http://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/sysinternals/bb963905"A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code" CLIP- Stellvertreter http://www.winvistaside.de/

From Brink (in the replies for the guide): Is this password now encrypted? Or can it be seen someplace in registry? Yes, all user passwords are automatically encrypted in Windows 7 without a way to be able to see them by default. Have Questions About Installing Windows 7?
