Just thought I'd throw my spare change worth in here... the utility on the Resource Kit is called AUTOLOG.EXE Use it with extreme caution - like any time messing with the registry - i.e.; make a backup of registry first... >There is a way, but it requires going into the registry. > >I read an article about it in a PC World magazine. I think it was in one of the sections near the end of the mag (Tech Tips or something). It was about 4 or 5 months ago I think. Try going to PC World's WWW page and see if you can find the article. I checked my files...for some reason I didn't photocopy the article... > >While it seems to be a bad idea in general, there are times when disabling the login screen is neccessary. For instance, lets say you have a machine running a communications program 24 hours a day, 365.25 days a year. If the power goes, the UPS drains, and the machine shuts down...then the power goes on...you would want the machine to bypass the security and go directly into the GUI and load the program. > >Sorry, I can't be of more help, but if PC World was correct, it is possible. > >Joe > >>Recently, I had a chance to see one of my friend's Laptop on which Win Nt 4.0 is installed.. >> >>Each and everytime we start system.. it shows Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to Log on.. >> >>Is there a way to stop it.. cause its very irritating on a single user machine... Thanks for your reply, I will chk the web site.. Actually I got the reply of this... There is a utility on resourse kit CD which allows to do that... eJ8+IiUNAQaQCAAEAAAAAAABAAEAAQeQBgAIAAAA5AQAAAAAAADoAAEIgAcAGAAAAElQTS5NaWNy b3NvZnQgTWFpbC5Ob3RlADEIAQ2ABAACAAAAAgACAAEEkAYA0AEAAAEAAAAQAAAAAwAAMAIAAAAL AA8OAAAAAAIB/w8BAAAAUQAAAAAAAACBKx+kvqMQGZ1uAN0BD1QCAAAAAGZveHByb0B0cmFuc2Zv cm1hdGlvbi5jb20AU01UUABmb3hwcm9AdHJhbnNmb3JtYXRpb24uY29tAAAAAB4AAjABAAAABQAA AFNNVFAAAAAAHgADMAEAAAAaAAAAZm94cHJvQHRyYW5zZm9ybWF0aW9uLmNvbQAAAAMAFQwBAAAA AwD+DwYAAAAeAAEwAQAAABwAAAAnZm94cHJvQHRyYW5zZm9ybWF0aW9uLmNvbScAAgELMAEAAAAf AAAAU01UUDpGT1hQUk9AVFJBTlNGT1JNQVRJT04uQ09NAAADAAA5AAAAAAsAQDoBAAAAHgD2XwEA AAAaAAAAZm94cHJvQHRyYW5zZm9ybWF0aW9uLmNvbQAAAAIB918BAAAAUQAAAAAAAACBKx+kvqMQ GZ1uAN0BD1QCAAAAAGZveHByb0B0cmFuc2Zvcm1hdGlvbi5jb20AU01UUABmb3hwcm9AdHJhbnNm b3JtYXRpb24uY29tAAAAAAMA/V8BAAAAAwD/XwAAAAACAfYPAQAAAAQAAAAAAAACuWsBBIABACcA AABSRTogUXVlc3Rpb24gQWJ0IE5UIDQuMCBbVVQ6SUQ6MDQzNDgyXQCrCgEFgAMADgAAAM0HCAAH AAgAEQAZAAQAGQEBIIADAA4AAADNBwgABwAIAA8AOwAEADkBAQmAAQAhAAAARUEzQjI2QTMxNjBF RDExMUIzQkYwMDIwMTgyOTMwNTUA6gYBA5AGAGAKAAAiAAAACwACAAEAAAALACMAAQAAAAMAJgAA AAAACwApAAAAAAADAC4AAAAAAAIBMQABAAAA1gAAAFBDREZFQjA5AAEAAgBKAAAAAAAAADihuxAF 5RAaobsIACsqVsIAAE1TUFNULkRMTAAAAAAATklUQfm/uAEAqgA32W4AAABDOlx3aW5udFxtYWls Ym94LnBzdAAYAAAAAAAAAF6oTFnLbNARszoAIBgpMFWigAAAAAAAABgAAAAAAAAAXqhMWcts0BGz OgAgGCkwVcKAAAAQAAAA6jsmoxYO0RGzvwAgGCkwVScAAABSRTogUXVlc3Rpb24gQWJ0IE5UIDQu MCBbVVQ6SUQ6MDQzNDgyXQAAAAMANgAAAAAAQAA5ADBWEz80o7wBHgBwAAEAAAAnAAAAUkU6IFF1 ZXN0aW9uIEFidCBOVCA0LjAgW1VUOklEOjA0MzQ4Ml0AAAIBcQABAAAAFgAAAAG8ozQ+sKMmO+wO FhHRs78AIBgpMFUAAB4AHgwBAAAAAwAAAE1TAAAeAB8MAQAAABgAAABXaW5kb3dzL0dNUklERVIv R01SSURFUgADAAYQwFBkXgMABxBMBQAAHgAIEAEAAABlAAAASlVTVFRIT1VHSFRJRFRIUk9XTVlT UEFSRUNIQU5HRVdPUlRISU5IRVJFVEhFVVRJTElUWU9OVEhFUkVTT1VSQ0VLSVRJU0NBTExFREFV VE9MT0dFWEVVU0VJVFdJVEhFWFRSRQAAAAACAQkQAQAAAFEGAABNBgAAOgkAAExaRnWaz7K6AwAK AHJjcGcxMjUWMgD4C2BuDhAwMzOdAfcgAqQEZAIAY2gKwOBzZXQwIAhVB7ICgwcAUAPUAgBwcnEy IJsHEwKAfQqACMggOwlvzQ4wNQKACoF1YwBQCwOGYxKCC8QgSnVzBUAkdGgIYGdoBUBJJw5kGAED YAfgbXkgc7kKsWUgEQEPIBmgdwkRJGggC4AgaASQZS4/GwAKogqECoAYEBmgdXR5AxBpdBlAAiAY ARmgUusHkAhhYxmgSxxwGoAEIBpjB0BsCYATcFVUT4BMT0cuRVhFGzo+VRFAGoAFQAPwGmFleD50 CXAHgB4RHDEcsS0g/RxgaxmgAHAZQBxAIREHgd8AkA8gIGMbmAlwZwQAIOBTGUAhwGkuGvA7GSBh iSICIGIA0Gt1cByg0mYkGGZpETB0Gw0K9HkcYDM2AUAXAAFAEzBvynQFkHQSdDE2IbAqEnZPBRAk QG4HQAXQItFhfxoAKhMbNikkKPELEykmaTAtMTQ0AUAcYDE4jjABQAzQLbNiIEYDYao6DINiEXBV AwB2BJBLKyADIFQY4GVhGLBWhQQAdSrBRm94UANgAybABbB1bSBbU02oVFA6AhB4KRFAIOAvAHEx wQDAIXIuBaBtXX8bNS7gBmACMC9HMHAIcHNwZGF5LBNwGEAX0jACNzYAMTk5NyA2JDo1EXBBTTQn VG/NL0dHCsAkgVJpBIE0KDh1YmopUS9HHSA6IE5RClAX4CGCQWIFQE5QVCA0LhFwWx6gOgBJRDow NDM0OH4yNBYsLylDKHQLthtDW0svAzDRbgRwIFAKwHetAHBpOBIXsG8RQHAacGJLIQBwZWw9ZxtS Pr8wcBrRHeIlgEFwNfFiHDAzIDIJcHF1JuAHkWdvuyMCC4B0MaAj6hslPkNFvkkkETCxA5EKwBxA Yx5QHyIgBuBExBqRJYBQQyAaVwWwbBiwAMBnYXq7C4Aa8CAYgBgBC4BrIDP+YQQgGpECIBmgGzQm ERvy/xlQKVEhgQQgSwAKwRvyCfDHGLBNFUqhIChUBZAacH0HYHAEIAWxHUAHgEtyZ14pSyJL5Bs0 STQ0UEI1exkgAiFoRCFFsEtGSyFUrySBRbRGMUoWJwQgV1XA/iAKsBoBAHAYsBFATJYGkPwgeQhg HhEDoCbQTsEb8v9ItUsjEQAFkCIASoEmsh5Q/nMbATHBUHNIIh1AA6BIEPJkOUBuJwVBG0NCQCkw em8FoHAiUVhJGxZHlldvS4BJAR3BVpFtBCBGMWL/JWQYsDlBJYAakRoASwAzAH5sNgAb8RmRGYIi cgQgd/8awAOgW4ArIAJgIwIbmAkAvyqRGVAFAAnhHeJLAGMdgP8rEUcBSzAxUAXAC4AX4ABw9x2A NgAeUHQEICsgGUBXYn8REDAAJXEAwUuBTJYx4G7vAwAjESWAM+FtaOAN4DOD1wQgKREJwGEyADJS gBghzxEwJXE10yiQNS4OMGuCvUQieU4xSyImIBuYcBkAXxHhRbAHkGFTL8BQBfBkvzMAZhE2AFZS TyRoFHM1kP1m0WQZADPAGwAb8RzEbgS/GzRuYhyhGwFXYhowdUpx70FxF/JwKF+ieQqwBBEb8v9N kQhxHIFWUlNxW4AJcClgzmwZQFbVRiZHVUgQVlLfCQAwsW3DanRHLVMFsCSA/zYAWREAcFvBX9Em EQRgGZH5GsBscESVJiBKF0wCBaH/dzI2AB3EW/VCEACQAmAa8OtHPEIAZUc8Ph0gHYACMP93cHtS ERBIYRmzHYFGMVaSP0xyfCImsQiBTsBVkUxhvwUwXLAcomJwDeAacFcakf5OW9Y8Uh3xZhMeQl23 gZfWRWgBVkNlMAF5InNuIP8ZUAGQACAZUGxwKUB6AEsg+18SGCB3BCAxgCLREYAg4IBsK0FsdCtE QrC9VNJMZBBMpnFRiE5JdbP/YaJEUoOjhYIccIthIUEgE/8EIIniGoA48BxwM4EjERyx/yWAIvJJ AZFBcmZn9RsNMHD9AHBrBCBaYldhBcAJcAtQ/3tDA/AeQBmxS7Ab8m4gLuD3AJApQBscQSlgMRF3 cUgQ/0WwdFSWk07kBAAbATBhQ9cvHDlFcWsiGaBrHcFDRP9MpYX0HjGL4kYxcSAYATOACxsHE/EA oJAAAAADABAQAAAAAAMAERADAAAAAwCAEP////9AAAcwMMI5DDSjvAFAAAgwMMI5DDSjvAELAB+A CCAGAAAAAADAAAAAAAAARgAAAAADhQAAAAAAAAMAWYAIIAYAAAAAAMAAAAAAAABGAAAAAFKFAAC3 DQAAHgBagAggBgAAAAAAwAAAAAAAAEYAAAAAVIUAAAEAAAAEAAAAOC4wAAMAW4AIIAYAAAAAAMAA AAAAAABGAAAAAAGFAAAAAAAACwBkgAggBgAAAAAAwAAAAAAAAEYAAAAADoUAAAAAAAADAGWACCAG AAAAAADAAAAAAAAARgAAAAAQhQAAAAAAAAMAZoAIIAYAAAAAAMAAAAAAAABGAAAAABGFAAAAAAAA AwBpgAggBgAAAAAAwAAAAAAAAEYAAAAAGIUAAAAAAAAeAHmACCAGAAAAAADAAAAAAAAARgAAAAA2 hQAAAQAAAAEAAAAAAAAAHgB6gAggBgAAAAAAwAAAAAAAAEYAAAAAN4UAAAEAAAABAAAAAAAAAB4A e4AIIAYAAAAAAMAAAAAAAABGAAAAADiFAAABAAAAAQAAAAAAAAAeAD0AAQAAAAUAAABSRTogAAAA AAMADTT9NwAAjaA=
