For as long as I be able to keep in mind, Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000/Windows XP/Server 2003 the entire have comprise and presented the capability to bypass auto logon by holding through the SHIFT key previous to logon happens. This is in addition recognized in KB826397 for Windows XP and KB977534 for Windows Server 2003 x64 and XP x64 editions. On the other hand on Windows 7, I have comprise productively set up auto logon additional than if I desire to bypass it using SHIFT, it does not run. I have comprise and tried setting the IgnoreShiftOverride key to 0 additional than it always logs on mechanically. Why is this not being fixed in Windows 7 by a hotfix.

If you desire to put out of action the SHIFT key to Startup apps is not running for me moreover in Windows 7. As an IT person, I utilize it the entire the time when concerning to additional PCs, and I actually miss it. For as long as If you set a system for automatic logon, anybody who be able to actually gain right of entry to the system be able to in addition gain access to the whole thing that is on the system, containing several network or networks that the system is associated to. Moreover, if you turn on automatic logon, the password is stored in the registry in plain text. The unambiguous registry key that stores this value is tenuously readable by the Authenticated Users group. Consequently, merely utilize this setting if the system is physically secured and if you create certain that users who you do not trust cannot tenuously observe the registry.
