The Windows XP operating system also plays automatic login

Each time you enter the Windows XP desktop, a user login screen will appear, asking for a username and password. The advantage of this is that security is guaranteed in an environment where multiple people use a computer. However, if the computer is just for you to use, you must enter your password every time, which is really annoying. To cancel this login step, you can do this by modifying the WinLogon project in the registry file. However, it is necessary to remind everyone before the modification, the consequence of this is that your password will be stored in the registry file in plain text. In other words, as long as someone can open your registry file, he will know your login password. After understanding these situations, if you still want to change, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Run the Registry Editor and expand the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\WinLogon] branch. , then double-click "DefaultUserName" in the right window and enter your login username. If there is no default user name, you can add this item by selecting “edit →new →string value(s)→DefaultUserName” in the menu bar of the Registry Editor. Note that you should distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters.

Step 2: Also under the branch, double-click “DefaultPassword” in the right window of the Registry Editor, and enter your password in the blank field. If you do not find the “DefaultPassword” item, you can create the string value by following the steps above.

Step 3: Next, double-click “AutoAdminLogon” in the right window to set the value to “1”. If you do not find “AutoAdminLogon”, you can follow the steps above to create a new one.

Now close the Registry Editor and restart your computer. Later you will find that the annoying login dialog is gone.
