Enable automatic logon to Windows from within MCE 2005

It seems very few people know how to enable an automatic logon to their Media Center 2005 PC from within the Media Center application.

If you have a password set for the username that you use to login to your MCE then you can use the following steps to enable Automatic Logon from within the application.

  1. Within Media Center 2005 go to Settings > General > Media Center Setup > Setup Remote Desktop.
  2. Click Next and choose Yes or No depending if you want to use the Remote Desktop feature of Windows XP.
  3. Click Next until you get to the Automatic Logon page and choose Yes.
  4. Click Next and enter your password in the box provided. I find it better to use a keyboard for this as entering a decent password with the MCE remote can be a pain in the ass.
  5. Click Next and Finish.

You are now done. Pretty easy!

Enjoy.
