If you are the only one using a computer that has Windows Vista on it, typing your user name and password each time you start it up is something pointless. Now, we'll show you how to enable the automatic logon - make Windows Vista stop prompting you for a user name and password when it starts up. There are only a few easy steps to take, and we'll show them to you bellow:

  • Click the Start orb
  • Type netplwiz inside the search box and select netplwiz
  • The Advanced User Accounts panel opens; select the Users tab
  • Uncheck the radio button next to Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer
  • Click the Apply button at the bottom of the window
  • At last, when the dialog box called Automatically Log On comes up, enter your password in the required fields (be careful to type the same password twice)
  • Click OK when finished.

If you didn't make any typing mistakes, the changes are applied and you won't have to type your user name and password when Vista is loading from now on!

You need to type netplwiz in

You need to type netplwiz in the SERACH box. Vista doesn't have a RUN box. There's a tweak if you want the RUN box to show up in Vista: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-run-command-on-windo...
