I setup my Windows 7 to automatically log into my account at home. I have a password set so that I can access it remotely. It seems like this was a feature in control panel somewhere, but now I can't find it to turn if off. I know I used to use Tweak UI in older versions of windows to do this, and before that I could edit the registry . . . but it appears they changed it for Windows 7
Answer
I found the answer with a little better Google search.
Press Windows R. A command box should
appear. Type control userpasswords2
and hit the enter key. This should
display the User Accounts screen in
Windows 7. Select the user account in
the main table and uncheck the “Users
must enter a user name and password to
use this computer". A click on the
Apply button will open the
Automatically Log On window. Enter the
password and confirm it to add the
password to the system so that it does
not need to be entered during logon.
Of course the reverse of this (putting a check in "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer") fixes it for me.
Alternative way to get to the same place: Start > then type netplwiz
