Automatic Login / Logon to Windows Vista

When Windows Vista boots up, users may be prompted with a button list of all available user accounts’ name, where computer users are expected to click on his or her username, and then key in the correct password in order to log into Vista system. The log on screen is good from security perspective, however it’s kind of nonsense when you’re the lone user of the computer. If you’re the only single user who access the computer and does not share with other users, it’s possible to configure to set Windows Vista to logon automatically to desktop.

In Windows Vista, you can enable automatic login whenever system starts up with netplwiz command. Just follow the following guide to use netplwiz to disable enter username and password requirement.
