Windows 7 Auto Login

I follow a few Windows 7 Website on Twitter and in one of the tweets was

I like it! I can boot up my laptop and not have to worry about putting in my password and i can leave my laptop to boot up (it doesn't take long, i am not saying it is slow).

What does everyone else thing? Good or bad???

It's bad. Yeah. If your laptop gets stolen, they can get into your account easier and look at your private data.

[Cohen]

yeah, i suppose that is a negative.

I might disable it when i go back to school.

Why bother putting a password on in the first place if you are going to be doing that?

handy for me at least, I got one pc where I need a password because I use it remotely a lot.
low risk of it being stolen and hadn't it been for the remote desktop need I wouldn't have had a password on it D:

Bam! This topic just got pwned.

Yeah really. You can just disable your password instead of doing the Auto Login option..

[Cohen]

But, even if you don't have a password on it, you have to select the account to login.

[Dredgy]

Only if there are other accounts on the computer. If you only have the one account, no password will make the account autologin.
