I just bought a new laptop with W 8 and have a few questions. How do I
get
rid of having to constantly put in a password to use it? It's frigging
annoying as hell. The other question is how do I hack in WindowsMail
like
I
did in W 7? WindowsMail works great in W 7 so I moved the folder to W
8
but
it wont open. How can I get it to open? Please don't suggest other mail
programs as I've tried most of the years and can't stand them. Thanks.


run netplwiz
Command prompt or run command etc. Whatever way you can.
There is a check box on the first screen. Toggle it. Click okay. It
will ask for the password. enter it twice.


What does Toggle it mean?

Toggle, in the case of a check box or radio box, change the state it was
in. If it's on turn it off, if it's off turn
it on.

To switch between one of two states.
In your case the auto login is not turned on. I don't care or know if
that is with or without the check box checked.
In your case the feature is off, so changing the state of that checkbox
will change the state of your autologin. If
it's currently off, it will turn it on.

SO TOGGLE IT to the other state it's currently in.


It didn't work anyway. I unchecked the box but still have to use my
password. I wish I could have found a LP with W7 but no one was selling
them. This W8 is the pits. I can't use the Command Prompt as Administrator
because that choice isn't on the dropdown. I can't open and Administrator
account according to www.eightforums unless I can get use the prompt under
Administrator. So can someone who knows please tell me how to add
Administrator to the dropdown menu in Command Prompt?

As for going through the registry per that site.... it says go to regedit
and click File/Load Hive which isn't an option since Hive is grayed out. So
that is no option either.

So how then do I open an Administrators account?
