Windows 7 – Auto logon
From the archive (2009). Written for the tools of the time, so some details may be out of date.

Next you will want to select the user account you want to auto logon and then clear the checkbox for “Users must enter a user name… “
Next click “Apply”, which will bring up the following box to enter the auto logon password:
Enter your password:
That’s it, you have now configured auto logon for Windows 7!
