Set up Auto login on Windows 7

Before I start, I just want to say that I do NOT approve of auto logging into a windows 7 computer. That being said, here's how you do it. :-)

1) Edit the registry with the regedit command, and find:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\AutoAdminLogon and change the value from 0 to 1

2) Press the Windows key + R on your keyboard to launch the “Run” dialog box and Type in control userpasswords2 and press enter
3) Uncheck the option “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer”, if it is unchecked, check it and uncheck it again
4) Click “OK”, You will then be prompted to enter the current password and confirm it.
5) Reboot the computer and it should auto login with the user name you provided, and long as it is a valid account on the computer.
