I have an NT WS which does not request a login and logs straight in. I need to find out if a registry key has been altered. If so, how can I correct it.

It sounds like the autoadminlogon reg. key has been turned on. To check it and turn it off, open regedit.exe and goto \\HKLM\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\winlogon and make sure the autoadminlogon is set to 0. If it is set to 1 then that is why it is auto logging in.

edit the regedt32

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
delete the following value:

"DefaultUserName"="user name"
"AutoLogon"="1"
"DefaultPassword"="password"

Further to the above answers, if the account that is auto logging in does not have permissions for regedit etc, hold down both shift keys after the blue boot screen until the login dialogue is displayed.
