Automatically starting Vista into an account?
Dear Jimmy,
Well, it looks like the control userpasswords2 method of bypassing the user account screen has been completely disabled in Release Candidate 2. Even when the checkbox is cleared, the user screen still intervenes before startup. Microsoft strikes back, again.

After upgrading from the puclic beta to RC1 I have noticed that I can't logon
automatically either - has anyone found a way to do this? It's not the end of the world, but I was wondering.

RC1 build 5600 the option seems to be broken. It's fixed in build 5728

Aha, I see. I even checked the Winlogon section of the registry to see if it
could be done manually there, but sadly none of the values used in XP like DefaultUserName, AutoAdminLogon, etc. were there. But now you've explained why! I'll just wait patiently. Thanks for the reply. "Jane C" wrote: RC1 build 5600 the option seems to be broken. It's fixed in build 5728 -- Jane, not plain 64 bit enabled Batteries not included.
