win2000 auto logon

[lucifer]

where's the option to auto logon as a user in win 2000

I found it a few days ago and now I can't

I found it a few months ago but I can't find it now...

Anyway... System Mechanic from www.iolo.com has the ability to turn auto-login on. Just download the 30 day trial and delete it after 30 days. It won't disable it after the 30 days.

Auto logon doesn't save the password in an encrypted format in the registry. It's plain password. Anybody can have a look at it.

I think this is what you are looking for

Thanks

why do they hide things all the time?

I'm not too bothered about security. I have a lock on my front door

I'm paranoid about security

I don't like paranoia

I believe in Karma - it's a much easier approach and has never let me down

of course you still need to lock the front door
