You need a password or have to create another account
-
isn't there another way??
-
you can try typing "netplwiz" in the startmenu and se if the user must enter a user name and password to use this computer box is marked
-
You can try creating a new a password, restart, and after you logged on remove the password. Then check if it still logs on automatically.
I don't know if you can use it in Vista, but the Microsoft TweakUI PowerToy is good and has that option.
Also I don't know if its the same path in Vista, but in XP there's a registry key at this point: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" and the key is called "AutoAdminLogon" (You may want to search for that key). Set the value of it to 0.
The last one should work. I tried it now. -
and acces to that registry key can be gotten through typing netplwiz in the search area of the startmenu which mean alot less hassle for him
