Can I automatically log on to an NT 4.0 Workstation? I want to be able to go through the entire boot process and bypass the ctrl-alt-del prompt to get right to a default user.

There is an autologin applicaiton on the Windows NT Resource CD. I played with it a bit and it was very easy to install. I'm not sure it will work if you want to authenticate to another server (e.g. Novell) though.

Run regedit.
