[SOLVED] Disable login at startup

Hi, is it possible to bypass the login screen at startup? I use the computer in question almost entirely as a media centre, and don't need it to be password protected. I'd just like it to switch on, boot up and be ready to use.
Many thanks in advance :-)

Menu > System > Login Settings

Edit lightdm.conf, uncomment line #126 and add your username

autologin-user=yourusername

I don't care what you do at home. Would you care to explain?
