The TweakUI powertoy for Windows XP had an option to auto-login. It stored your password and did the login for you. This was useful, since you kept password protection, but had login programs loaded when you first booted.
When you switched users or hibernated, it would still ask for a password, which is the desired behavior.
Is there a way of doing this in Windows 7?
Answer
Yep. Run control userpasswords2 from the command line. Uncheck the box for "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". When you click "Apply", you'll be asked for the username/password combo you want to use to login. This user will then get logged in automatically.
