Contol logon access -how to?
Hi,
My daughter's running WinME. She has setup a Windows username and password, but there is nothing to stop her kids from logging on the computer and playing around with it. I found that a separate password could be setup and be made mandatory for continuing after the screen-saver came up, and I think also similarly for hibernation. But the initial logon screen that comes up with her username can be dismissed merely by clicking Cancel, at which point the computer is wide open. How can the password be made mandatory? On a related note, what Registry setting is available to preclude her username from being displayed? I presume a username is required in the initial logon screen, or is access permitted also if the logon dialog with no username is canceled? -- Thanks in advance, Richard |

Hi Zee,
"oops!!" wrote in message ... I like your return address: it beats mine. I may "steal" it :-) http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/629/ Thank you very much. My daughter and son-in-law will be very appreciative (after I apply it for them.) Best wishes, Richard |
