Hi,

I need som help with a logon script - if its at all possible.

In a room at scool theres one computer running XP and 4 kids and 1 teacher.
Each have there own user account (michael, luzy, ted and so on) with no
password (sec. is not an issue here). When the computer boots every morning
its boots up on my account.

On my and every users desktop I would like five shotcuts to each user, and
if I'm logged on and Michael doubleclicks his shotcut then I'm logged off
and Michael is logged on. Another solution was to swith user so that both
accounts is stil running. The point is - I (or the kids) don't need to
logoff to get to the welcome screen. The reason for this is that if I can
make a shotcut work I can make a remote control work (long story)

Is that possible in any way?

Thanks
 
Yes, but it wouild need some progamming.

explains how to set autologon. You would need to set ForceAutoLogon too.

Then you would need to write a small program that would change the Default
User registry value, and logoff. At the most basic this could be achieved
witha batch-file and .reg file, although it would be much easier with WSH or
AutoIt. (http://autoitscript.com)
 
This is possible. Right click your desktop - New - Shortcut type
"rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation" without quotes and click next as a
name enter "User Switch" or whatever you want. Click Finish. That's all. Good
Work!
