I don't wish to type my password every time Vista boots - is there a way to
change this as you can in XP?

Hi Alex,

Certainly, click the start orb and type:

control userpasswords2

and hit <enter>. Click "continue" at the UAC prompt. Click on your account
in the list, then deselect the line requiring users to logon ("Users must
enter...."). Click apply/ok and follow the prompts to do an autologon.
