Windows Autologin

If you have only one user on your Windows machine and do not want to type in your password at startup or you do not use a password at all, you can add the following to your registry so the startup is a little bit faster.

Copy and paste this into a textfile and name it autologin.reg (make sure it is not named autologin.reg.txt or something else)

If you are not in a domain or do not use a password you can ommit the lines with these options.

Adobe Reader – You need to accept the EULA before use

Sometimes when you open a PDF Adobe Reader prompts you to accept the EULA and then closes.
Just open the Adobe Reader once WITHOUT any file and accept the EULA.
Another weird thing is, when the path to your file (or the file itself) contain the String ‘CR’. (Carriage Return, assuming).
For example \scrserver1.childomain.domain.tldsharefile.pdf or \serversharecricket.pdf
If this happens more often in your domain just roll out the following registry entry
