Actually auto login is an extremely nice feature when it is done correctly. I was trying to be brief and save bandwith as to WHY I want to autologin. It is not for my personal laptop of course I would not do that. This is for a demostration laptop and I dont think some sales people have the ability to login to a laptop and remember the user id and password. SO to make things easy for them I have the laptop autologin.
There are no trade secrets on the laptop, nothing anyone wants I just want it to correctly auto login.
So I was hoping some else had perhaps ran into this issue or might shed some light on it.
Thanks all,
Jerry
