Looking for a TweakUI-like util for Windows 7

Looks like it doesn't apply here

Indeed. :-/

This is a different way of getting to the same dialog as NETPLWIZ,
that I told the OP about a week ago. The OP seems to be under the
misconception that this does something different than what the old XP
TweakUI did. Perhaps this will help to correct that misconception.

You see the old XP TweakUI auto-logon would actually ask for the account
password that you want to auto-logon to the first time, and then it
would store it privately there-after. That's how it used to auto-logon.
It didn't turn off security for all accounts by default.

All the method I posted achieves is auto-login. Passwords are still
active for all accounts, even the auto-login account - the only time a
password is not required is when the system initially boots, it
automatically logs into the account specified in NETPLWIZ using the
password specified in NETPLWIZ. Network access, logins other than the
initial boot login, switch user, etc, all require passwords to be
entered for an account.

Oh, okay, the description in the wizard itself made it sound like it was
disabling the passwords completely. Very ambiguous wording.

NETPLWIZ does exactly the same thing as XP TweakUI. It asks for the
password for the account you want to auto log on and stores it
privately. It does not turn off security for all accounts. Try it
and see.

Sometimes, I wonder why I don't just give up and leave them to their
misconceptions, but I can't help myself...

Self discipline, that's what you need. Or Xanax (tm)

Me too.

I just looked at the molecular diagram on Answers.com. It looks like a
possible precursor to methyl ethyl chickenwire.

Better living through chemistry... sounds like a plan.

I too have been looking for a solution to this problem
The solutions offered do not work for me, presumably because I'm logging onto a domain at work - Tweakui in XP did work
