SUMMARY
Windows NT allows you to automate the logon process by storing your
password and other pertinent information in the Registry database.
NOTE: This feature allows other users to start your computer and use
the account you establish to automatically logon. Also, timing
conflicts can occur. For example: If you have several network
transports loaded, enabling automatic logon may make Windows NT
attempt to connect to network resources before the network transports
are completely loaded.
