Hi!

Is there any way to automatically lock the computer at start up? I'm
developing an operating system for a stand-alone system, so I would
like to lock the computer to increase the security. Any advice would be
great!

Thanks very much for your help!
 
Hi Perro,

If I understand your question correctly you want to have a system that does
not automatically log in. If that is the case simply add the "Administrator
Account" component to your image. Next, highlight the component and click
"Advanced" in the right hand details pane. In the "Advanced Component
Properties" dialog box double click the cmiUserPassword value and enter the
desired password into the value text box. Click OK, then click Close.
Lastly, make sure you do not have the "Automatic Logon" component in your
image. Rebuild and run FBA. The image should now boot to a login prompt and
be password protected.

HTH,
Brad
 
Hi Brad!

Maybe I don't explain well what I want to do. I do need the "automatic
logon", because I have to start automatically my own application, but I
also would like to lock the computer (lock = CTRL+ALT+DEL --> lock
computer) automatically. Is it possible? I know that I can do that
using "LockWorkStation" function from my C++ program, but I'm looking
for other way to do it.

Thanks for your help!
