You can set up your computer to log on automatically at startup even if it has more than one account or if your account is password-protected. You may like automatic logon if you’re the main user but sometimes others log on, or if you keep your own separate accounts for different tasks.

To log on automatically at startup:

1. Choose Start, type control userpasswords2 in the Search box, and then press Enter.
or
If you’re connected to a network domain, choose Start > Control Panel > User Accounts >Advanced Options. If a security prompt appears, type an administrator password or confirm the action.

2. In the User Accounts dialog box, on the Users tab, uncheck Users Must Enter a User Name and Password to Use This Computer. This check box won’t appear if your computer doesn’t support automatic logon or if your network administrator has disabled it.

3. Click OK.

4. In the Automatically Log On dialog box, type the user name and password (twice) of the account that you want to log on to automatically; then click OK.

Now the system invisibly enters your user name and password at power-up. Anyone who turns on your computer can access the same files and resources that you do. You can use the other accounts on the computer by using Fast User Switching or by logging off and then logging on to another account.
