How to enable auto logon for Windows 7

Auto logon feature can be enabled for Windows 7 by using User Accounts window and this is done the same way as enabling auto logon for vista. The User Accounts window can be accessed either by

opening control userpasswords2 using the run command or

run auto logon windows 7

by typing netplwiz in search programs and files text box

windows 7 user accounts

The user accounts window has an option users must enter a user name and password to use this computer and by un ticking the checkbox the auto logon can be enabled for Windows 7. This needs to be disabled if you are not the only user of the Windows 7 PC  and to avoid unauthorized access of the system by other users.

I find this guide all over the web but it does not work for me. Just installed Windows 7 Prof/EN from MSDNAA. I tried the “DefaultPassword” RegistryKey, trying around with “ForceAutoLogon” (works but I cannot logon from RemoteDesktop..)
I just don’t know how to make it work!
