This i guess is meant to be like a guest account but in most cases its annoying to have. This hack will auto-logoff the user as soon as they login the this 'guest' account. IMPORTANT: THIS REQUIRES YOU TO EDIT THE REGISTRY, IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY YOU COULD MESS UP YOUR COMPUTER, IN SOME CASES A REGISTRY BACKUP MAY WORK, IF YOU CAN USE IT, SEARCH GOOLGLE FOR REGISTRY BACKUP TO FIND OUT HOW TO DO THIS< OR BETTER YET IF YOU DO NOT FELL LIKE YOU CAN PROPERLY DO THIS THEN DONT, BUT FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS YOU SHoulD BE SAFE. 1. Goto this key in the registry, to get to the registry goto Start -> Run and enter regedit HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run2. Add a REG_SZ (String Value) entry in this key 3. Name the REG_SZ value NoLogon 4. make the entry as follows: RUNDLL32 shell32,SHExitWindowsEx 0 NOTE:This will affect all users created after this is enabled as new users are based off of this account, to avoid this when you create a new user go into the registry key for that user ie (HKEY_USERS\jdoe) and delete the NoLogon value. This can also be overridden by booting up into Safe Mode. Use F8 when the Starting Windows screen is up and choose safe mode and you can go into delete the key, that way or just bypass it for then. If you want more security conciter upgrading to windows NT/2000/XP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
