Logon to a default user account

Hi

My Vista system has 3 user accounts with 1 of them password protected. When
my computer is booted up I would like it to startup in one of the
non-passworded accounts without going to the Logon menu first.

Is this possible?

Re: Logon to a default user account

Hello,

press Windows-key + R, type
control userpasswords2
and hit Enter. Then, uncheck the "Users must enter a ..." checkbox.

Greetings,

Go to Start, type cmd, then type 'control userpasswords2' and enter.
Uncheck the 'Users must enter a password to login".
