Hi. I have the administrator user, which requires a password.

I created a new user. How can I make that user to autostart without showing login screen?

You can also use Tweak UI from the Microsoft Power Toys suite.
It's just a GUI for the same registry change Many Bothans linked above, but also has a few other nice settings as well

Start > Run
Enter the text
Control userpasswords

This will open a dialogue box.
Click on the user you want to auto login and put a untick in the box Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.
It will ask you for the password for that user.

This dialogue box should also be accessible from the Control panel link Users and Passwords.
