In the office, we use Lotus Notes running on Windows XP Pro.
Is the a possibility to synchronize the password of both ?
I'd like to put a shortcut to Lotus Notes in my Startup-folder so that it
starts up when I boot my machine.
And I would like it to use automatically my Windows password in order to
avoid typing it each time.
Hi
From the help file that comes with the Notes 6.5.1 Client (relevant
for WinXP as well):

Synchronizing your Windows NT/ 2000 password with your Notes password
To synchronize your Windows NT/2000 password with your Notes password,
you must uninstall Notes. Then use the following procedure when you
reinstall Notes. Note if you are uninstalling Notes, make sure to back
up important files that you might need such as your bookmarks, Personal
Address Book, and User IDs.
Note If you use a Smartcard to login to Notes, or if your User ID is
protected by multiple passwords, Windows NT/2000 password synchronization
is not supported.
To install and enable single login
1. While installing Notes, choose to install "Client Single Logon
Feature" in the "Custom Setup" dialog box of the "Lotus Notes 6
InstallShield Wizard," and then finish installing Notes.
2. Launch Notes to set up the Notes Client.
3. After Notes has been set up, change your Notes password so it
matches your Windows NT/2000 password. Note that when you choose
File - Security - User Security, the option "Login to Notes using
your operating system login" is enabled by default in Security Basics.
4. When you have changed your Notes password to match your Windows
NT/2000 password, exit Notes and restart your computer. When prompted,
login to your computer using your Windows NT/2000 password. When you
launch Notes, you should not be prompted for a password.
Note Once the single login feature is installed on your computer, you can
enable and disable it at any time.
To change your synchronized password
When synchronization is enabled, you can change your synchronized password
at any time. Whether you change your password through Windows or through
Notes, the passwords synchronize so you can use the new password the next
time you login to Windows or Notes. To change it through Windows, refer to
Windows Help. You can change your synchronized password through Windows
only if your Windows and Notes passwords already match. Otherwise, you must
change it through Notes. To change it through Notes, see Changing passwords.
To disable synchronization
1. Choose File - Security - User Security.
2. Click Security Basics.
3. Uncheck "Login to Notes using your operating system login" under
"Your Login and Password Settings." You do not have to change your
password. Once you disable the synchronization, you have to enter
your password when you login to Notes, rather than being able to
open Notes without entering a password.
To enable synchronization again, check "Login to Notes using your operating
system login," and make sure that your operating system and Notes passwords
are the same.
Note If Notes imposes a password history requirement (choose File -
Security - User Security), click Security Basics, then click the
"Change Password" button for information on your password history),
then you may have to choose a new Notes password. Notes changes your
operating system password to match.
To completely remove the single logon feature you must uninstall Notes.
When you reinstall Notes, do not install the "Client Single Logon Feature."
