How to Configure Auto Logon in Windows XP?1 min read

If you are the one and only user of your computer, you may find it’s troublesome to enter your Windows logon password each time you startup your computer. Therefore, you may want to configure your Windows XP to automate the logon process.

Follow the steps below to enable Auto Logon in Windows XP.

  1. Go to Start > Run.
  2. In the Run box, type control userpasswords2 and click OK button.
  3. Within the User Accounts dialog box, uncheck this option, “Users must enter a username and password to use this computer”. Click Apply.
  4. Enable Auto Logon Windows XP

  5. Another dialog box will pop up. Enter the user name and password you wish to set as default account for auto logon. Click OK when done.
  6. Enable Auto Logon Windows XP

  7. Click Ok again. That’s all. It’s done.

Even though this tweak will make your computer more convenient to use, but keep in mind that anyone can now logon and access your files easily without typing logon password.

This tweak is for Windows XP only. I will cover on Windows Vista in my coming post. Stay tuned.
