Turn on auto admin logon on virtual machines
132016 years
I have never been a fan of auto logon instead of security but on virtual machines protected by a front end password it seems to make sense.
To Activate auto logon on Windows XP after enabling multiple accounts use regedt32 to navigate the registry to the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MicrosoftWindows\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Set or create the string keys
DefaultUserName to the desired user name
Set or create the DWORD key
AutoAdminLogon to the value 1
Disable constant tracing with bootvis even though you have turned it off (stop tracing) with boot vis.
2220Make trace.log in
c:\\windows\\system32\\logs\\logfiles\\trace.log read only.
Set the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\WMI\\GlobalLogger
Start to 0
