auto switching user with task scheduler in win7

Question

I have windows7. My computer has 2 accounts: Admin (with password) and Guest(w/o password).

My purpose is to login on Guest account when wakes up from hibernate using task scheduler.

When the computer wakes up from hibernate the status of accounts is as follow:

Admin: Logged on but Locked

Guest: Logged off

I created task in Task Scheduler which wakes up computer from hibernate and run: %windir%\System32\tsdiscon.exe - it moves me to the login screen.

Now I'd like to find a way to log in Guest account automatically.

How I can do it?

Answer 1

You can not auto login to another account without a restart.

Create regfile auto-login-guest.reg with this code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"AutoAdminLogon"="1"
"DefaultUserName"="guest"
"DefaultPassword"=""

Create a scheduled task:

regedt32 /s "auto-login-guest.reg"
shutdown /r /t 1

Regedt32 adds the regfile to the registry silently. Shutdown restarts in one second and forces the close of all open programs.
