IMPORTANT: This article contains information about editing the registry. Before you edit the registry, make sure you understand how to restore it if a problem occurs. For information about how to do this, view the "Restoring the Registry" Help topic in Regedit.exe or the "Restoring a Registry Key" Help topic in Regedt32.exe.

SYMPTOMS

After you enable the TweakUI program's Autologon feature on your Windows 95 OEM Service Release 1-based computer, you may still be prompted for your user name and password when you restart your computer.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if the following string value does not exist in the following registry key:


   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ 
      RunServices

   string value: RUNDLL32.EXE TWEAKUI.CPL,TweakLogon

RESOLUTION

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys and Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and Delete Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics in Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit it. If you are running Windows NT, you should also update your Emergency Repair Disk (ERD).

To resolve this issue, add the appropriate string value to the registry. To do so, use Registry Editor to navigate to the following registry key:


   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ 
      RunServices

Create a new string value named "Tweak UI" (without quotation marks) in this key with the following data value:


   Rundll32.exe Tweakui.cpl,TweakLogon

After you make this change, restart your computer.

MORE INFORMATION

Microsoft Technical Support Desktop Systems (DTS) does not support the installation or usage of the TweakUI program.

The TSR Csinject.exe program, a component of Norton Anti-Virus (part of CleanSweep), also causes this problem to occur.
