There are three main registry values in the Winlogon key which need editing or creating, a fourth if you want to log on via a domain. The AutoAdminLogon value will already be present but the others may or may not be depending on your system. If they are not there, add each one as needed. Once the required three or four values are present, double click on each one in turn and edit its Value data to match the user you want to set up as auto logon. Once you have completed entering the values, close the registry editor and restart to see if the changes have been successful.
To revert the changes you have made and turn off the auto logon function, open the registry editor and go back to the Winlogon key from step 2.

Tip: If you would rather not create and edit data in the registry in case you misspell or enter the wrong value, it will be easier to use a ready made registry file. Edit the values for username, password and optionally domain.
Save the file and double click it to add the data to your registry. Nothing bad will happen if you enter the wrong username or password in the registry.
