How To Automatically Logon In Windows 7?

Tired of entering your password in each time you log in to your PC? If you are the sole user of your computer or if you are confident of it’s security you can turn on Automatic Login feature so that Windows 7 will automatically log you in without the need for entering a password.

Warning: Enabling this feature poses security risks because anyone who has access to your system can login without entering any credentials and thus have full access to all your data.

Here are the steps to turn on automatic login in Windows 7(these steps apply to Windows XP and Windows Vista as well):

1. Open the Run dialog.

In Windows 7 the Run command is not available by default from Start Menu. You could however access it with the shortcut Win+R or add the Run Command to Windows 7 Start Menu.

2. Type ‘control userpasswords2′ and hit Enter. This will open the ‘User Accounts’ dialog.

3. If you have more than one user on your computer, then select a User from the list in the section ‘Users for this computer’. Windows 7 will automatically log on for the selected user after applying the setting.

4. Clear the check box titled ‘Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer’.

4. Click OK. The ‘Automatically Log On’ dialog box opens, prompting you to enter the password for the selected user.

5. Confirm the password by entering it a second time and click OK.

6. Restart your computer to see the changes in effect.

That’s it. You are done. From now you can automatically logon in Windows 7 whenever you start your PC.
