Autologon in XP pro

This is a discussion about Autologon in XP pro in the Customization Tweaking category; I have one user at my log on screen and this user is not password protected. My machine would automatically log this user on until I installed some borland developement apps. Apparently the install process created another user.

I have one user at my log on screen and this user is not password protected. My machine would automatically log this user on until I installed some borland developement apps. Apparently the install process created another user. This user is not shown at the login screen but I can see it though the user managment console. This is the only thing that could have effected the autologon.
 
How can I get the autologln functional again.

It's under login->autologin. I'm not sure if it's only in the newer tweakui or not. To get it, search for powertoys on microsoft's site.

It's a registry setting as well.
 
Look in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon for the following strings:
 
AutoAdminLogon = 1
DefaultUserName = username
DefaultPassword = password
DefaultDomain = computer name or domain
 
Hope this helps.
