Bypassing Windows Network Login?

[DaveGoTech]

Does anyone know of a way to eliminate the need for<br>
selecting OK or pressing ENTER when a PC is logging<br>
on to the Windows network? <br>
We installed an application server, which sits in a<br>
corner. We would prefer not to have a keyboard &<br>
monitor connected to it, as it is not needed. The <br>
machine simply gathers information and sends it to<br>
a laser printer periodically. However, if it should <br>
lose power & reboot, it will sit at the Windows <br>
sign-on screen. Once logged-in, the programs starts <br>
itself in Windows START UP.

So long as the system isn't logging onto an NT domain, this will work.<br>
<br>
Go to Network properties in the Control Panel. Change the primary network logon to Windows logon. Click OK and let the computer reboot. The only note is your username must not have a password on it and make sure you do not have user profiles enabled (control panel - passwords - user profiles). The system should then boot into windows without a logon screen and still have access to/from your MS clients.
