You can encrypt the password used for autologon. There is an API to do this but it is also included in the tweakui power toy.

Hardcoding the account credentials in the Registry under the ~\Winlogon key? (Clear-text embedded password. Bleach.) Or do you use a third-party add-on to make that bit go? Just curious to see what other people are doing. -- ----------------------- Laura E.
