Short and simple: to allow automatically logging in on Windows 7, you need to press Win+R to open the run menu, then type “control userpasswords2″ without the quotes and run it.
To fix this issue, add the following lines between <config …..> and </config> in /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf

Just a short reference:
Keep in mind: There is no longer a need to convert the filesystem to ext2 to resize it. resize2fs can handle ext3 just fine.
The location of ~/.xsession-errors is, at the time of writing, specified in /etc/X11/Xsession in Debian Squeeze (testing).
ERRFILE=$HOME/.xsession-errors

However, if you want to do it the “Windows Way (TM)” the trick is to add “vmware-authd.exe”, found in the VMware Server folder in your installation directory, to [...]
Cleaning up my ‘dump’ directory, I found this aging script I got from somewhere, which will check the current CPU usage of a program and kill it if it uses too much. This is useful if you are for some reason forced to run buggy, closed source software which get stuck in endless loops when [...]

The way to do this is to set $HISTFILE to [...]
