autologon

[Guest]

After updating the target designer with last fixes (April-May 2004), the image does not auto-logon properly (system tries, but it generates an error "unknown user"

Looking at the registry, the ke

HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows NT/Current Version/WinLogon/DefaultUserNam

is present but with a blank value, instead the assigned one ("Administrator")
Changing it to "Administrator" the problem is fixed.

However the "User Name " field in the component "Automatic Logon" is correctly set
(The other fields are: "Domain Name = <blank>" and "Password = Administrator"

Please check

Alex:

I have seen this too after I applied MS04-011 via DUA. Setting the reg
value back to Administrator fixes the problem as you stated. The image that
I currently deploy does auto logon and this reg value is blank. This seems
like a bug somewhere to me. It seems that maybe the msgina.dll that is
updated as part of MS04-011 now enforces that this key is not blank?

Alex, Doug,
Try to fill "Default user name:" field in "Windows logon" component's
settings.

Just to confirm Doug's observation with the thread he created a while ago

Jeff,


To address your original question before the thread moved onto
Autologon issues. . .

You can eliminate the Windows XP splash screen --
http://msdn.microsoft.com/embedded/community/tips/xp/custmize/default.aspx

Also, you can eliminate the logon progress status display by registry
tweak --[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system]
"DisableStatusMessages"=dword:00000001

I believe that I originally found this information by searching the XP
Embedded newsgroup for "Logon".

The only thing I haven't been able to eliminate is the "blue
background with mouse pointer" shown before the user profile kicks in
to get my desired desktop (custom shell) of "black background with no
mouse pointer".

HTH, Roy

To make start up screen black try.......

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Colors\Background and set to 00 00 00

However this will not remove the mouse, to do this set the mouse pointer to
a blank cursor, and then set back again if needed at user logon

Don't know if you need this to know but...
The reg.value (for current user) can be modified in the "Win32 API - User" registry section.
