2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\winlogon
3. Set the AutoAdminLogon value to 1 (one means on, zero means off)
4. Create a new string value (REG_SZ) called DefaultPassword
5. Set the DefaultPassword value to the user password.
6. Set the DefaultUserName to the user who you wish to logon automatically. If this value does not exist, then right-click in the right pane, New, REG_SZ, name it, DefaultUserName
7. It's optional if your Windows 7 Machine has joined a domain, then create a String Value called DefaultDomainName. Set the DefaultDomainName to your domain name. The default value for DefaultDomainName is your computer name, left it the value if your machine is not join to a domain.

You have finished the steps to make your computer auto logon. Restart your computer and see how the computer will automatically logon to the windows using the default user that you provide on the previous steps.
