Default is it possible to log into Windows automatically?

I hate the fact I have to click 'OK' everytime I start my PC, why can't it
just go right to the the desktop since I am the only user?

The use of Google to search would save you time in the future.

Yes - you can - there are a few methods.

Start-RUN-
Control userpasswords2
uncheck the Appropriate box.

TweakUI to set the autologon up.

Registry editing to change the autologon setting.

The information is provided "as is", it is suggested you research for
yourself before you take any advice - you are the one ultimately
responsible for your actions/problems/solutions. Know what you are
getting into before you jump in with both feet.
