To enable Autologon in Windows 7 & Windows Server 2008,
1. Click Start, search for “control userpasswords2″ and press enter.
2. Select the user from the list and uncheck “User must enter a user name and password to enter this computer” and click Apply and OK.
That should do. The next time, when you start the computer, you should be logged straight into your desktop.

your tip doesn’t work with Windows 7 RC1.
you need to search for “NetPlWiz”
instead of “control unserpasswords2″
then you can do the same thing…
thanks, it really worked. W7 RC.
your tip doesnt work with windows 7 RTM
the tip does word on windows 7 RTM if you choose run instead
NetPlWiz is good ya
Another way is to use the “control userpasswords2″ command but just run it in start->run instead, worked on my win7 pro..
To get this applet to open on windows 7, just run
“%windir%\system32\netplwiz.exe”
you can also add the the string “AutoAdminLogon” (value of 1) to your registry at
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
“no items matched your search”
Look at this article Windows 7 autologon — it offers many ways how autologon your user
Thank you Tsais, NetPlWiz worked for win7 Ultimate! Indeed userpasswords2 did not work.
in START > Search > type in without quotes ‘netplwiz.exe’
as above screenshots did not work on Win7 ultimate
It did not work on Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
Não funcionou no windows 7 ultimate 64bits.
For Win 7
If PC couldnt find “control userpasswords2″ command directly from Run window – type “cmd” first then at command line type same “control userpasswords2″. Its work perfect. Good luck
