If you want to quickly enable or disable the Windows Auto Logon, then a small tool called Autologon provided by Microsoft will do the job.

Autologon is easy enough to use. Just run autologon.exe, fill in the dialog, and hit Enable.


The next time the system starts, Windows will try to use the entered credentials to log on the user at the console. Note that Autologon does not verify the submitted credentials, nor does it verify that the specified user account is allowed to log on to the computer.

To turn off auto-logon, hit Disable. Also, if the shift key is held down before the system performs an autologon, the autologon will be disabled for that logon. You can also pass the username, domain and password as command-line arguments:

autologon user domain password

Note: When Exchange Activesync password restrictions are in place, Windows will not process the autologon configuration.
