Can anyone help? I want the computer to log straight into windows without
having to select a user. Only have one user account and no need for a
password. Cannot find anything on this. But according to information I have
found you need at least one admin account. This is fine but I do not want to
go through the log on screen.

Regards
Ernie

The Microsoft TweakUI program has on option to log in automatically.
