  • Auto Login into Windows

    Have you ever felt that your computer automatically logged into your user account, without you having to type your password? An obvious option would have been to have only a single user account so that windows would automatically log in to it. But what if you are at your house and all of your family members have their own user accounts? There are many softwares that helps you to do this automatically. But there is an alternate option by which you need not download anything of that kind. Here is how to do it.
    1: Go to ‘Run’ in the start menu
    2: In the Run dialogue box enter “control userpasswords2” (without the quotes )
    3: A new window opens up. In it click on the user account you have to automatically log on to.
    4: Uncheck the users must type a user name and password check box.
    5: Click OK or Apply
    6: In the new dialogue box, enter the password of the user account you selected. (Leave them blank if you don’t have a password)
    7: You’re done. Restart to see the change
