Auto logon

Set the following keys in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]

"AutoAdminLogon"="1"
"DefaultUserName"="myname"
"DefaultPassword"="mypwd"
"DefaultDomainName"="mydomain"

The domain name entry is not needed for a private LAN with workgroup, but if you set it, set it to the name of your machine (computer) all in caps letters.
