Valicious

How do I submit this as an FAQ or Guide?


I've been playing around with a few things, and here's what I've learned.

To automatically log in:
Go to Start -> Run (press Win key+R) and type in "control passwords2"

uncheck “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer”
Press Ok
Confirm your password.

Now you can skip the login screen when you boot up



Having F@H clients run on startup:
Go to C:\Users\Valicious\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windo ws\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
Copy the shortcuts into the Startup folder.
Done

(You might want to copy a program that sets your GPU fans to 100% too)


Let me know how this works for you guys.

I'm sure one of the Editors can help you out with this. Possibly put it in the Essentials thread.

For my Vista machine I had to type in "control userpasswords2". Didn't work for me with what you had Val so I did some googling and found that fix.

wow, so does this allow my user account to still have a password but not need to use it to log in?

I have been getting around this by just removing the password all together so when my power resets, my computer starts right back up and continues folding again.

would be nice to have the password though so that I can share my drives over the network.... doesn't let me do that without account PW

And you can only use SMP with a password.

...except using vmware and have it launch the machine from startup...


I set my password back up and then did this... I will see if it works next time my power resets...

you can also do a search from the start menu for netplwiz and that will bring up the same window.
