Auto login, one account, no password: avoid to click account icon?

December 25, 2011
Hi everyone and merry Christmas!
I followed the procedure found on the web, I entered "netplwiz" and did uncheck Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer".
There is no password set.
THere is just one user/account which is obviously also the administrator.
(the Account tab shows also HomeGroupUser$, but I guess is a default option...)
the point is that when I switch the pc on, I have to click on the icon of the user account in order to see the desktop. Is there any chance I can login automatically without even clicking on the user icon?
thanks a lot in advance

Want to install Windows 8 on a locked Win 7 PC (no password)

November 23, 2012
I have just bought a second-hand acer all-in-one PC from a cash gen type shop. Unfortunately it is locked with a password.
I plan to go tomorrow as soon as the shop opens and ask for the passowrd to unlock it, hopefully that will be provided, HOWEVER they may not know and will ask for it back to be sent off etc.
I don't want that as there are instructions on here for resetting the password and I will try it myself. But I don't think I really need all that hassle anyway, I have bought the Win 8 Pro upgrade DVD and I always intended to upgrade to that anyway.
My question is this: if I go to BIOS and set the boot to the optical drive and boot from the Windows 8 disk, will I be able to do the Windows installation (a clean one to get r

Can no longer load Windows XP in W7's XP Mode
location:
winsecrets.com - date:
July 24, 2012
I've been running some older programs successfully in W7's XP Mode for several months, but recently something changed so that whenever I would wake up the computer from hibernation, the XP Mode would show the XP startup screen with the Username "XPMUser" and ask for my password. I'd enter it, XP would load instantly, and all would be well until the next time I left the computer for too long and it went into hibernation, after which it would wake up again and again ask for the XPMUser password to allow XP to open. Finally, I got tired of having to do this every time I came back to the computer, so I went into XP's Control Panel and removed the password for XPMUser so that I wouldn't be bothered with having to enter it time after

Hi,
PROBLEM:
Recent upgrade from Service Pack 2 to Service Pack 3 There is now no audio, only default Windows "beep" Downloaded Microsoft Fix It specifically for audio problems (Windows Audio Playback Troubleshooter), and after scanning the computer for a few minutes this message came up:
