Level: Recommended For Experts Only
Description:
When a windows is configured to automatically logon to a specified account, users can bypass this and enter alternate account information. By using this tweak you are able to forces the machine to auto logon and to ignore any bypass attempts. Also, if user tries to logoff from specified user account, user will logoff, but after that he/she will be again automatically logon to the specified account. For this, go to start > run menu, enter regedit and navigate to the registry path listed below. You can create a string value nologon, if this value does not exist. Now, right-click and set the value data to rundll32 shell32,shexitwindowsex 0. After that log-off and now when you login using the new username you will gain access to the desktop. Note: once this tweak has been implemented any subsequent users accounts that are created will inherit the 'nologon' value and therefore reboot when they login. To avoid this; when you first create a new user, open the key listed below for the newly created account name (for example: [hkey_users\(new user name)\]) and remove the 'nologon' value. When editing the registry it is highly recommended to run a quick scan for optimization, you can test your system now for free.
