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
