Windows-7 is configured to automatically login on boot. I want to change which user it logins to.

more details I have 3 accounts:

Administator
- administrator
- no password
- default for auto login
Mine
- administrator
- password protected
- I want this to be the default
Other
- standard user
- no password
Guest (disabled)

Open up run and type in control userpasswords2

Choose the account you want to auto-login with and uncheck [users must enter a username and password to use this computer]

Click [Apply] You should be prompted to enter in the username and password.
