Windows 7 domain auto login
I'm looking for a way to auto - login machines that we use generic accounts on. I also need a way to allow the administrator to log off that user and login too. I've seen the registry netplwiz but does this allow for the admin to log out the current user?

thanks this did the trick.
Edit these registry settings for autologon. Create them as string values if they aren't there.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWAR
DefaultUserName - Set this to the user you want to auto logon
DefaultPassword - Set this to that user's password
DefaultDomainName - Set to AD Domain Name or if using a local account set it to the computer's name
AutoAdminLogon - set to 1
Delete AutoLogonCount and AutoLogonChecked if they exist.
Reboot and the computer should auto-logon with the user/password specified.
