HOW TO ENABLE NT AUTO LOGIN WITH THE NT SUPPLIED GINA.

DLL
(or msgina.dll) FOR MAXSTATION (WITH NT SERVICE PACK 5)
Note: All changes need to be performed as Administrator.
<< TO ENABLE AUTO LOGIN >>
Step #1:
Edit the following registry key (all values are type string).
Use the program REGEDT32.EXE to do this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\
CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"DefaultUserName"="operator"
"DefaultDomainName"="Make this string to be the workstation's name"
"AutoAdminLogon"="1"
"DefaultPassword"="operator"
If any of the above items are missing, then use "Add Value" from the "Edit" menu.
Enter the name first, followed by the value.
Leave REGEDT32.EXE by clicking "Close" on the "Registry" menu.
Step #2:
Prevent the login of other users from changing the "DefaultUserName" string.
Use regedt32.exe to set the permissions of the key to READ-ONLY for all users.
You should also do this for user administrator. You can always change it back
to disable this feature, or change other values in this key.
Re-open the Registry by following the same steps as above, starting with
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE as before.
This will bring you back to the same window that you worked on before.
Go to the 'Security" menu, choose "Permissions".
Set all users' values to Read (only), including Administrator.
Exit by clicking on "Close" on the "Registry" menu.
This concludes the procedure.
{{{ TO TEST THE AUTO LOGIN, DO THE FOLLOWING }}}
<< TO BYPASS AUTO LOGIN >>
Hold shift during one of two moments:
1.) After logging out.
2.) When the "MAXSTATION" splash screen appears during boot.
<< TO DISABLE AUTO LOGIN >>
1.) Perform step #2 of "TO ENABLE AUTO LOGIN" above and change the Administrator
user privilege to be "Full Access" from "Read" in the "Security" menu.
2.) Change "AutoAdminLogon"="0".
