I'm looking for a short explanation on how to set up a Windows NT Workstation 4.0 machine without the Ctrl-Alt-Delete logon screen. This is just going to be a stand-alone training machine so security is not a concern.

Thanks. [sig][/sig]
 
Edit the registry - PLEASE be careful. Make backups before anything. :)

regedit
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Modify/Create the following Keys
AutoAdminLogon 1
DefaultDomainName Your Domain or Local Machine Name
Default Password Your Password
DefaultUserName Your Username

This should automatically log you into the box.
Hopefully I did not forget any keys, but this should do it.
Hope this helps!
