For some reason, this won’t work on my computer. Everything has been done correctly, but when I restart my computer, it says my password is incorrect (before I enter it). Then, when enter my password, it immediately logs me out, and I have to type it in again to access my computer. Any ideas?

This is a great utility… I have clients who need to run xp mode (because all their apps work in xp only) and they want to rdp into xp. This allowed me to do that by automatically logging into win7 and adding xp mode in startup.
Now win7 starts up and xp gets launched and in few seconds is available for them to remote into while win7 is locked.

Thanks a lot for saving the day!!! great creation.

Be careful cause IT IS a worm…. all you have to do is the procedure starting at 1m:12s and it works just fine, DON’T install shit this lightly, especially when your anti-virus tells you not to!

Thats the point of this application. It loads the desktop explorer and then locks the computer. The detection is false positive which means the applications itself is awesome. I am using it myself.

Try to run it against online scanners like virustotal.com or novirusthanks.org . You going to see that not only avira says that. It replaces the shell. It means it loads itself before your windows workspace. I think with that malware ratio it is a huge … khm. unsecure move.
Always check unknown stuff on multiple av scanners.

Avira call this WORM/Citeary.D. I just add it to safelist though.

Dude…Have you experienced this situation where you crave for some imaginary thing in life and voila! u see it in front of your eyes… That is my state now…

I have been trying to search for something like this for a very very very long time..
Have used some to some effect but none as what this promises to do.
I’ve not yet installed nor tested this…
But Great going guys… This is called meaningful innovation…

I dont have the option to untick “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer”, possibly because my PC is on a domain. Is there any way around that?

If thats the case then the regular Windows Key+L to lock the desktop will also not ask for the password (which is exactly what my app invokes).

You password probably got blanked somehow.

thanks for your previous reply.
i've tried on my vm win7 and it works just like you said earlier.. it says 'locked' but i just click on my acc and it just went through without entering my password.

There is nothing to record after this. Once the installation is complete, just restart the computer. Now you will be shown the usual logon screen, enter the password and hit Enter, you will find all startup items loaded.

This app loads the desktop and startup programs even though you are still on logon screen. Thus, saving time.

can you post video when it is running? i mean after installation.
anyway.. thanks for this post.

The steps are listed on the product page, but sorry about no audio. I think people can get an idea after watching the video. In future, we will include audio as well.

PS… The screen that keeps moving is not due to resolution. The video moves along the pointer making it easier for users to know where i have clicked and moved the pointer.

I think the screencast quality is great. Everything appears crystal clear. My only complaint is the fact the screen keeps moving. I'm guessing this might have to do with the screen resolution you are using. Also, I would like to either have audio explaining what is being done or a list of written steps. This makes it easier to follow along with the screencast.
