UFO8MyCow:

I finally have my cabinet and control panel built and working now it is time to work on the system. my first of probably many questions is how can I automatically open up a user account so that i can put mamewah in a start up and have it be automatic. i know it is possible because I had it done on my old laptop but for the life of me I cant figure out how i did it I will eventually be totally hiding windows but for now this will get this will make me content

zorg:

for a mamecab, autologin can be achieved with minlogon (furthermore it adds as a side effect bonus a faster login and shutdown)

problems.
auto login as admin (potential security issues, on a normal PC, but on a mame cab no problems)
no more ctrl-alt-del key combo for the task manager (should be ctrl-ald-d, but I never succeded on having it functional)
some shortucts are lost.

Install TweakUI and use the autologon feature. Done. Every single computer I have with XP on it gets TweakUI as the second thing I install (after antivirus).



surface tension:

Yes, what saint said. TweakUI is one of Microsoft's official powertools for XP.

I wish people wouldn't just post a link... would it be so hard to write just a few words to go with it?
