Systernals Autologon

I am thinking about giving this program a try. It looks like some other programs that logs your password automatically. There seems to be a ton of these programs around but is this one pretty good or is there a better one available?

Thanks

Ive got a very high opinion of all Mark Russinovich's work
but I havent used that particular ap, hell my dogs would be downloading puppy p0rn in no time.

 

Another application is the MS Powertoy, TweakUI.
It's essentially a Registry GUI Editor
This is the Win2000 version:

I've used it since Win95 days.

TweakUI for Windows 95/98/ME/2000

TweakUI for Windows XP

doesnt that defect the object of having the password?
because it just logs you in since you told it your password and told it to autologon.
its like getting a really secure high tech door and having all the passwords on a piece of paper attached to the door.
or just having a front door and leaving the keys in.

I use sysinternals autologon. When you bootup your logon screen appears momentarily and then dissappears and you are logged on automatically. Make sure you keep a record of (remember) how to restore the normal logon feature. Note that if someone else turns on your machine they will also be logged on automatically.

 

I've never bothered with a password on my home computer.
