Whenever I setup Autologin for windows 7 I run into an issue. To set it up, I do the following: Open Regedit Change AutoAdminLogon to 1 Set DefaultUserName to (whatever user id I am using) set DefaultPassword to whatever password I'm using Then restart. This worked find in windows xp, but in windows 7, the user id has a .\ infront of it. I check the registry, and it's not there. However windows keeps placing it in the user id and of course it fails to login. Can anyone point me to where I can correct this?

Are you joined to a domain? Looks like it is trying hard to log you on locally.

Hi, If you cant find that value in the registry, please create them by yourself. Right click on empty area in the right pane, then select New>String Value and enter the value names: AutoAdminLogon, DefaultPassword and DefaultUsername After creating them double-click each value and enter the following value data for the particular value AutoAdminLogon Value : 1 DefaultPassword Value : the pasword of the user profile DefaultUsername Value : the username of the account you want to log in to Hope this helps.Spencer TechNet Community Support
