How to turn on automatic login in Ubuntu 9.04

Login with an administrator account in Ubuntu.

1. Go to Systems > Administration > Login window

Login Window location

2. Click on the Security tab. Check the Enable automatic Login check box. Pick the user you want to login automatically. Try to avoid having an administrator login automatically since admin accounts have the most power, so someone can use the account to install something bad. I recommend making a guest account login automatically.
