We have... far too many times, and have decided to produce an article that offers up a slew of different ways to take care of both tasks.

You can read our full article and then discuss it here!

or you can do this

To autologin just type in the search box "netplwiz" highlight the name you want login with. Then uncheck the "Users must enter a name and password to use this computer." type in the password okay it out and restart the comp immediately and you will be squared away.
