Hey i tried this a while back, i was sick of having to click on my login icon to get into windows, i wanted to be able to turn the computer on come back 5 minutes later and be inside windows.
This worked wonderfully, until i went to install new software and had to run them as Administrator, I couldn’t log on as administrator, as the account had mysteriously been deactivated.
Great if you know what your doing, but a pain if you do it wrong!

i always thought it was a pain in the rear to mess with the registry, not out of fear of damaging anything really, just too archaic.
Download TweakUI from Microsoft and you can have Auto-Login working in less than 5 minutes with no worries about disappearing accounts either.
