Need to automatically log on / not be prompted with CTRL ALT DEL

[outonalimb]

We have a laptop with Windows 2000 Pro installed. I want to make it boot up straight into the OS without prompting for the press CTRL, ALT & DEL screen.

Can someone please advise me on how to do it?

Regards,

Users & Passwords in Control panel. Untick the box which says 'Users must enter a username and password to use this computer' (assuming this laptop is not a member of a domain).

If it does belong to a domain, use tweakui, logon tab -

Open the mmc. Add the Local Policy console. Expand Local Computer Policy>Computer Configuration>Windows Settings>Security Settings>Local Policies>Security Options. Select "Disable Ctrl+Alt+Del requirement for logon" policy from the right side of the screen. Double-click on the policy. Select the Disable option. Remember, if domain-level policies are defined, they override local policy settings.
