Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWinlogon

Create new string value subkeys:
DefaultUserName
DefaultPassword
DefaultDomainName

Change: AutoAdminLogon = 1

If it exists, delete the AutoLogonCount key

Remember, if you are not part of a domain, you can setup autologin by using the netplwiz command in the search box.

Basically go here…
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersion Policiescomdlg32Placesbar
…and edit the locations; DWORDS are common locations, so you'll have to look them up, but strings are just paths to folders. The max is 5 (Place0 through Place4). Here's a link to an article describing it.
