How to AutoLogon with Tweak UI ?
I am running XP Pro with SP3. I am the only user on this desktop machine and
I want to be able to autologon, bypassing the password and welcome screens. In Display Properties Screen Saver I have unticked the box "On resume, display Welcome screen". Under Power Option Properties Advanced I have unticked "Prompt for password when computer resumes from standby". In Control Panel User Accounts Change the way users log on or off, I checked box "Use the Welcome screen" (as I didn't want the classic logon screen). In Tweak UI Logon Autologon I have checked "Log on automatically at start up" with my username displayed, clicked apply and OK. The autologon works as I want (and expect) it to first time of re-starting, but fails to hold this as default for future restarts, unless I go and re-tick the box in Tweak UI. Incidentally, it makes no difference if I uncheck the box on User Accounts. This still happens after hard disc re-format and re-install of Tweak UI. Can anyone assist please on how to make this work the way I want ? With thanks. |

How to AutoLogon with Tweak UI ?
Hi, you could try and use TweakUI (exe for XP) instead. It is a lot more
limited but a little more robust as it is Microsoft and therefore bound to be more compatible. You can download it free (of course) from: http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...ertoySetup.exe then goto the heading Logon, near the bottom, then, Autologon sub-menu. Tick the box "Log on automatically at startup" and make sure your User name is typed in the box. If this doesn't work then you may have a bigger problem... Good luck! Tim Meddick, Peckham. |
