Take a look at this registry key which may disable it I believe when set to zero as shown.

I use a free program called Regshot to do comparisons of the registry before and after such a change. There are other programs that may be a bit easier to use but for the price and the fact that it does not have to be installed make Regshot a neat utility to have.--- Steve

Hi All,

I am going into a zero security situation next
week.  I am going to have manually turn off

 --> Control Panel
    --> Local Security Settings
       --> Security Options - Accounts
          --> Limit local account use of blank
              passwords to console login only


So anyone can log into anyone without a password.

Can anyone tell which registry key and value "off"
corresponds to so I can just load a registry key?
(It would save a lot of time if I could just write my
own .reg file to turn off "blank passwords to console
login only.")

Many thanks,
--Tony
