In Windows 98, how do I turn on automatic logon in windows 98 using regedit?

Do you mean automatic entry of the username and password, or do you mean

by-passing the username and password dialogue entirely?

 

You can get rid of the username and password dialogue by following the

procedure here.

You can create an automatic entry of username and password by setting these

registry keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

AutoAdminLogon 1 (string)

DefaultPassword <password> (string)

DefaultUserName <username> (string)

 

This is the way that Tweakui does it.

Re: turn on automatic logon in windows 98

 

Do you:

 

1. Have a username and password for networking compatibility with later

versions of Windows, and not want to have to input them in order to log on

to the machine?

OR

2. You simply don't want to have to input username and/or password to log on

to your non-networked machine?

 

If it's 1., you can try going to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Network\Real

Mode Net

 

Add a Value named "Autologon", d-click it and make it "1" (one). Note,

however, that this may cause several problems:

If your issue is 2., above, then see here:
