| + | ====== Windows 7 auto logon ====== | ||
| + | Perhaps you have (like me) configured a Windows box as a media center in your living room. In order to conserve power, I shut the PC down, when not in use. Power up is so fast that I don't see the point in putting it to sleep. Especially when the USB IR receiver is still powered on and i can turn on the PC via remote. When the PC powers on, I don't want to enter the password (since I have disabled Windows Explorer and replaced it with XBMC). This is what you must do to auto log on an user. | ||
