I am trying to set up several Vista machines as kiosks. Under XP,
one could give a defaultpassword, defaultusername, set
autoadminlogon=1 and forceautologon=1 and when the machine rebooted,
or someone logged off, the machine would log right back in. The nice
thing about this was that when I needed to do some administrative
task, I could hold down "SHIFT" and log off of the machine and it
would prompt me for a username and password. This allowed me to
login as administrator and change settings.
Under Vista, these keys do indeed force an auto logon after a reboot
or after someone logs off the machine, but I am unable to use the
"SHIFT" key to access the login box. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jeff
