    Hi all,
    My computer was set up so that it would boot all the way to the desktop. Then I downloaded some upgrades from MS and since then I have to sign in (click on my name).
    I then downloaded TWEAK UI and put a check mark in the Auto logon box. This will only last for 1 boot-up. The next time I boot, it clears the check mark and I get the logon screen again. What am I missing here?
    Is there a registry key that I can change permanently?
    Thanks
    Sven

    You're welcome :) My experience with the Autologon feature of Tweakui has not been good either.

    The search Function works!

    I wanted to disable my auto logon, but just couldn't do it. I did a search (Posting Rule #1) and saw that SVEN had the opposite problem as I did, and took it from there.
    Thanks....

    FitzDawg: a little 'reverse engineering' ;)

    Thanks for the heads up!
