Configure XP T60 to reboot without having to enter password
Configure XP T60 to reboot without having to enter password
One of my T60's shall be designated my server machine for data. I had this working OK, but a HD failure in that machine brought on demons. I have replaced the HD (and will now have data on an external HD connected to the machine) and evidently gotten the network up and running but I'm faced with the issue of how to handle Windows Updates. I could periodically check the machine to see if updates are ready and waiting for me to approve and supervise, but I figure it might be a lot easier and smarter to just configure automatic updates on the XP T60 server machine. However, of course, they often as not require a reboot and if unattended, the server machine will be down until I enter a password or scan a finger. So, if this is going to work I have to configure the machine to reboot to Windows XP without logging on. I haven't found a way to do this. When I go into User Accounts and click "Change the way users log on/off" I get a message that "A recently installed program has disabled the Welcome screen and Fast User Switching. To restore these features, you must uninstall the program. The following file name might help you identify the program that made the change: tvt_gina.dll." A little Googling has revealed that this was probably installed by Access Connections, however going into the configuration for that program doesn't reveal a way to enable me to allow rebooting the machine without requiring a logon. I don't know that I want to uninstall Access Connections. Is that what I need to do here?

An easy way to configure Autologon is to use Microsoft's TweakUI PowerToy for XP, available here:Muse wrote:... configure the machine to reboot to Windows XP without logging on.
