How to login automatically to windows

This is a real time-saver if you have an account that you rarely use, and want to speed up your boot time. Have you ever had the annoyance of turning on your computer, then forgetting about it, then coming back to see that you still have to login and wait for it to load the computer? Been there, done that. This will save you time:

1. Log on with an administrator account, then Click Start > Run, type control userpasswords2 and click ok or press enter.

2. Clear the "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" check box, and then click Apply.

3. In the Automatically Log On window, type the account that you want to automatically log onto's password, confirm it, then press enter.

CAUTION: If you don't want people in your account, this is not for you. This will automatically log on, so if you have a password for your account, it will bypass the password. (In other words, you don't have to put the password for it to log on).
