    - Click on Start and select Control Panel.

    - In Control Panel, select User Accounts.

    - Click on the link that says "Change the way users log on or off."

    - Disable the checkbox next to "Use the Welcome Screen."

    - Click Apply Options.

    Also if you have a password set it will still prompt you for a password!

    (will login you in automatically if you have a password set)

    Click on Start and then enter the following command in the search box:
    netplwiz

    Press the ENTER key.

    This command will load the Advanced User Accounts control panel applet.

    In the Users tab, uncheck the box next to Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.

    Click on the Apply button at the bottom of the User Accounts window.

    When the Automatically Log On dialog box appears, enter the user name you wish to automatically login to Windows 7 with. Then enter your account password in the two fields where it's asked.

    Click the OK button.

    Click OK on the User Accounts window to complete the process.

    From now on, when your PC starts up, Windows 7 will logon automatically.
