[wdvltalk] IE7 question - kinda
Hi all, I see that IE7 is finally out and I would like to download it and try it out. I am just wondering though, if there is a way to download it and not overwrite IE6? I am guessing not, but it would be great for testing if I could do that.

Or use one of the partitioning tools to create the same effect: IE version and supporting OS on each partition.

[wdvltalk] OT: ridding myself of the Windows Welcome screen
Hi there, A couple of weeks ago (I haven't had time to post until now) I installed some new programs and one of them (and I have no idea which one) is now forcing the Windows Welcome screen (WinXP) to show on boot up. I don't want a welcome screen, nor do I want a login screen. I always boot directly into Windows and that's what I want back in place. When the Welcome screen comes up, it's not requiring a login - I just click the name and it finishes booting to Windows. But I hate this. I cannot find any options/preferences in the programs I installed for changing this. One was a new HP printer which I seriously doubt caused this because I've installed many a printer and never had this happen. The other is the Wacom Pen Tablet and associated bundled software that came w/it. I have been into the Control Panel/User Accounts - I have one admin account and that's the name that's showing up on the Welcome screen so I can't delete it. I also found something called ASP.NET Machine installed and I have no idea where that came from or what program installed it. I have not had reason to go into the User Accounts in months and months so this could have been installed by anything and not necessarily a recent install. It's showing as password protected and I know for sure I did not set this up. If I ever need a password for it, I have no idea what it would be. If I were to remove the Welcome screen within the User Accounts, it's telling me then I'll have a classic login screen complete w/password. Don't want that. If I go into TweakUI there are options that *are* checkmarked ( that I didn't checkmark) under LOGON. They are: Keep RAS connections after logoff (not checked) Parse Aytiexec.bat at logon (checked) Show ASPNET on Welcome Screen (checked but not by me) Show MyLastName on Welcome Screen (checked but not by me and this is the admin account in the User Accounts) I don't want to do anything because I'm terrified I'll wind up locking myself out of Windows entirely. But I want that blasted welcome screen gone! Can this be done and if so, how? Anyone know how to get me back the way I was before?

Re: [wdvltalk] OT: ridding myself of the Windows Welcome screen
Hi Deb By the sound of it, whatever you've installed recently requires the .NET Framework to run so it's installed that as well. Looks like with .NET Framework running, your computer needs an explicit login as exactly the same thing happened to me when I installed Visual Studio .NET. Once I uninstalled it, taking the .NET Framework with it, the login returned to normal. This of course doesn't fix your problem if something on your system requires .NET Framwork. I was never able to sort it out myself. MOU ___ All new Yahoo!

Except that with a VPC you don't need to reboot in-between. I had IE 7 beta in a VPC and IE 6 in my primary XP install but I've mostly been working on my Vista partition and using my Mac's VPC to test IE 6 while I'm over testing Safari, etc. in OS X 10.4.

The answer takes a bit of finding, you have to type just the right question into Google. Most of our PCs at work have to be set up to prompt for a login but if you need something like a Powerpoint presentation to run immediately on power up then you have to do just what you are asking and set the machine to start Windows without a login. To do this: 1. Ask Google Start XP without login 2. Follow the link to the Microsoft page at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315231 3. Follow the instructions Here they are to save you following steps 1 - 3: 1. Click Start, then click Run 2. In the Open box, type 'control userpasswords2', and then click OK. 3. Clear the Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer check box, and then click Apply 4. In the Automatically Log On window, type the password in the Password box, and then retype the password in the Confirm Password box. 5. Click OK to close the Automatically Log On window, and then click OK to close the User Accounts window. - Original Message - From: David Precious [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com Sent: Thursday, October 19, 2006 10:23 PM Subject: Re: [wdvltalk] OT: ridding myself of the Windows Welcome screen On 19/10/06, Ross Clutterbuck [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This of course doesn't fix your problem if something on your system requires .NET Framwork.

On reboot, the welcome screen showed up behind an error msg that I could not be logged in. Clicked ok, welcome screen went from fade to unfade and so I wound up w/2 steps to get into Windows vs the one original one - having to click out of the error msg and clicking the account button to enter Windows. From there things went downhill to the point of being totally locked out of my computer. After firing up my laptop, several googles got me some possible fixes for getting back in which I was able to accomplish. A system restore took me back to where I was before I tried all of this. It's times like these I am reminded that the money I spent on my laptop was money very well spent, LOL!
