Just discovered this blog post about how to make windows load your desktop before login on
lifehacker.com and did it to my laptop. Really useful tweaks since I always on my laptop then go brush teeth; but still have to wait for some programs to load after I back from washroom because those programs only load after I login. This is a nice way to make your Windows protected from passwords and yet allow it to load your startup programs first while you are brushing teeth or shitting. By the way, this tweak only work in Window 7 Professional and above for unknown reasons. :|
Fist create a plain text file and rename it to
Whatever.vbs and put this line into the file and save.
WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run("rundll32 user32.dll,LockWorkStation")
Click the tiny ball on left bottom corner, type run and hit enter. In the window that pops up type
control.exe userpasswords2 Uncheck '
Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer'. Then click
advanced tab >>
hit advanced button.>> click
user and then
right click the user name you are using >>
properties >>
profile tab>>
type Whatever.vbs (or the name you chose for the script) in Logon script box. Then just keep hits OK button.
Put this file into a folder and then right click the folder>>
properties>>
sharing >>
advanced sharing. Check "
Share this Folder" box and
type in NetLogon in the Share Name box. Set the number of simultaneous users to 1, and hit Permissions and check the permission to read box (most probably it is checked). Hit OK and that is it !
That should make everythg loaded after you back from washroom. The script add a command for the windows to automatic lock up right after it is logged in. And, try at your own risk lol. Works fine on my laptop.
Cheers :D
