Hello,
This is more of a Windows question, but is there a way to get WCG to run if nobody is logged on? (Win2K or XP) Basically, if I power on the computer it'll boot up to the logon screen. If I don't log on, is there a way to get the client to run? If there are multiple user accounts on a computer, how does one get it to run for anybody who logs on? Do you have to add a shortcut into the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup directory? Is the windows option of hiding inactive taskbar icons user specific, or global? I would guess user specific, but am not sure. Thanks for the info! |

I asked a similar question of tech support when I signed on three weeks ago. Never did get an answer.
I leave myself logged in, but switch out to the user login page holding the windows key and hitting L I know it is not the safest thing to do, but the other users are my family. |
