Yesterday I posted a trick on how to auto login into an account without providing user-name and password (i.e. autologin), but it seems like that trick doesn’t worked for Windows 7 Professional version. So today I came across a workaround for Windows 7 Professional users so that they can auto-login too without using any 3rd party software.

Check out our other popular registry tricks-

1. How to set Firefox to open in Private Mode by default
2. How To Turn off InPrivate Browsing in IE

The workaround involves tweaking registry, so it would be better if you first back up your registry and than do it, because everything you do with registry is LIVE and there is no UNDO button to revert back changes.

1. Go to Start>Run (or press the windows key+r)

2. Type regedit and press the enter key or click on OK.

3. In the registry editor go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>Microsoft>Windows NT>CurrentVersion>Winlogon

4. On right side pane look for these values AutoAdminLogon, DefaultPassword and DefaultUsername. If they are there, skip on to Step 6.

5. If the above values aren’t there, then right click on empty area in the right pane select New>String Value and enter the value name such as AutoAdminLogon. Repeat this step for each value.

6. Once you’ve created these values double-click each value and enter the following value data for the particular value

Name : AutoAdminLogon Value : 1
Name : DefaultPassword Value : the password of the user profile
Name : DefaultUsername Value : the username of the account you want to log in to

7. Now you’re done!

Hope this would help to Windows 7 professional User, however this trick can be used for all Windows version i.e. on WIndows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
