The BIOS (=Basic Input/Output System) is a chip in your laptop
that controls the very basic things at boot time such as the screen
input/output or the keyboard. It has nothing to do with Windows.
To get into the BIOS you need to press a certain key at boot
time. It is often the Delete key. If you don't know, check the
manual that came with your laptop.
Many BIOSs have a facility to start the computer automatically
at a certain time. See if you can find this facility while in your
BIOS, or check your laptop manual.
To log on to Windows automatically as a certain user, do this:
- Click Start / Run / control userpasswords2{OK}.
- Click the user you wish to log on as.
- Untick the box that requires users to enter a password.
- Click OK and enter the password when prompted.
There are several ways to run a task automatically at logon
time. One way is to place a shortcut to your chosen application
into c:\documents and settings\xxxx\Start Menu\Programs\Startup..
