with some registry editing you can do an autologin
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"DefaultDomainName"="shorddomainname"
"AutoAdminLogon"="1"
"DefaultUserName"="logonname"
"DefaultPassword"="password"

Open in new window

save as autologin.reg and merge, if you change your password you have to edit and remerge
...and the difference to using autologon: autologon does not use plain text to save the password. That's why it's recommendable.
you were referring to the sysinternals tool autologon which will bring up the UAC prompt
It will bring up a UAC prompt, so what? Editing the registry at that locations needs elevated rights, anyway.
