# Windows. Automatic login. Autorun programs.

25-08-2022

If we want the system to be automatically logged in, or we don't want to waste time entering a password and launching programs that we use every time we start, then this can be easily implemented by executing a few commands. But there is a more important reason for the automatic launch of programs, this is the operation of the trading terminal, which can cost a lot of money.  
  
  
In this guide, we will look at how you can avoid program downtime in the event of a server restart, if the OS has been updated, or a technical problem or failure.  
  
  
**This guide can be used for both a local account and a Microsoft account.**  
  
Let's do it in a simple way.  
  
Right-click on the **Start** menu and select **Run**. You can do the same with the **Windows + R** key combination.

After that, enter the **netplwiz** command. The **control userpasswords2** command does the same.

After starting the accounts, we will see the following window.

Select the desired account, in our case **Administrator** , and uncheck "**Require username and password** ". Click **OK**. Enter the password for the **Administrator** account twice, and click **OK**.

After these changes, Windows will automatically log you in with an Administrator account at startup.  
Now let's add the necessary programs to autorun.  


## **How to add programs to autorun.**

  
We launch the File Manager, or My Computer. Copy and paste the address below:
    
    
     C:\\ProgramData\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Startup

As you can see, this folder is empty. Here you need to add shortcuts to the necessary applications that you want to start automatically when Windows starts.  
  
**If you launch trading terminals, you must first log in to the terminal and save the authorization data.**  
  
After installing the program, simply drag the desired shortcuts to the **Startup** folder.

In case the programs need to be run as a specific user, download the shortcuts at the following address:
    
    
    C:\\Users\\UserName\\AppData\\Roaming\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Startup

  
To make sure that we did everything right, we can restart the server and check the new settings.  
  
Enjoy your work.
