NT 4.0 logon without entering user account?

[SerN]

Hi ya

Is there a way to make NT 4.0 workstation logon using the administrator account by default, rather than manually going Ctrl + alt + del and then entering account info to logon everytime?


Cheers in advance

yes. (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=lang_en&ie=ISO-8859-1&newwindow=1&safe=off&q=NT4+automatic+login&btnG=Google+Search) and yes. (http://www.experts-exchange.com/Operating_Systems/WinNT/Q_20062812.html)

Its easier IME to get it going on NT4 server... but I've got it going on the DC Hub box which runs on NT4 Workstation.

I beleive one of the windows powertoys (tweak ui) can modify the registry to do that for you.
