Help with auto logging in.

At User Accounts there wasn't a check box for 'Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer' so in the registry editor I had gone to


Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\PasswordLess\Deviceto modify DevicePasswordlessBuildVersion by changing it's Value Data to 0. I then unchecked that check box in the User Accounts. I reset Windows and was surprised to find two names. There is only one name in User Accounts. I had tried rechecking that check box, resetting, and unchecking again, but that didn't help

    ScarlettLewis, as you see two accounts, do they have same name?

    Can you remove either of them.

    Also, check DefaultUserName and DefaultPassword registry values at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon.
