Autologon on VistaHello!
I wrote a program with VB6 to enable Autologon. This are just a veiw registry values to write. This is no more working with Windows Vista, but I only find an article on Microsoft Website for XP-autologon. Does someone know how to create Autologon on Windows Vista? Thanks in advance!

I believe there is an Autologin command line utility that can easily handle this for your. It needs to run with an elevated privilege. The other option is to create a credential provider, which may be somewhat involved for a Visual Basic implementation. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=B1B3CBD1-2D3A-4FAC-982F-289F4F4B9300&displaylang=en Paul ~~~~ Microsoft MVP (Visual Basic) Markus Weber (Megalith GmbH) <m.we***@megalith-software.de> wrote:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon That's not something you're likely to get away with much longer, as you've found.

It looks that the autologon mechanism has been changed, becasue the password for example is no more saved in the "defaultpassword" key. Instead it it saved now somewhere encrypted. If someone will find a API or something like that please post it here. Markus Weber <m.we***@megalith-software.com> wrote:
