Click start> run “ control userpasswords2 “ click OK. Click the account you want to log on automatically. Untick the box “users must enter a user name and password to use this computer”. Click apply. If you don’t have a password just click OK> Ok and you’re done. Reboot will take you straight to your desktop. Other users will have to logoff from your save and logon to theirs.
