My main system run XP Pro (SP2), and I make a lot of use of the Remote Destop feature.After I disconnect my remote session, on the local system it's at the
login prompt [1] and I'm wondering if it's possible to make it auto login after the remote session disconencts, much like the system auto logs in upon boot
The title says it all! Basically I have a comp running XP pro and I want to be able to work locally on one user account, with some kind of remote access server running on another XP user account so that the remote account and the local account can be used simultaniously. I know that this cannot be done with XP Pro remote desktop and could be by Windows Server 2003 remote desktop, but i need an alternate solution to make this happen.

View 2 Replies View RelatedJust recently I've started to lose my USB cable modem connection while on standby. This was not occurring previously. Obviously some setting has gotten changed and I don't know how it happened, I'm relatively certain its in my Widows XP Home Edition software.By trial and error I have learned to reconnect by going to the control panel, network connections, right-clicking on the "Local area connection" heading" and clicking on "disable", which changes the status from "limited or no connection" to "disabled". I then right-click on the heading again and click on "enable". This causes a reconnection. Obviously, I would rather not have to go thru this process each time I go on standby.Since I have a USB connection, a tech advisor at another support forum has already had me do the following; Control Panel/System/Hardware/DeviceManager/
UniversalSerialBusControllers/PowerManagementtab(s) and uncheck each of the (4) options to shut down on standby to save power. For whatever reason,this didn't work, and now he's suggesting that I get an ethernet connection instead. I'm sure that would be superior and maybe solve the problem (and maybe not), but I don't have an ethernet card and I also may soon have to revert to a dial-up connection due to cost..I also confess to disabling the system timer [under system devices] but not knowing what that really meant. What I do know, however, is that the connection is still shutting down on standby.
This is a weird case because i lost my internet connection after putting my comp on standby accidentally. My brother managed to track it down to my firewall software (ZoneAlarm 6.1). I got it removed but there was still no internet.Are there any ways to force windows to reconnect because i still cant get my IP address from my ISP (sidenote: the hardware, ISP, modem are all right). I tried safe mode and the repair function to no avail.

For example, if a user calls in asking for assistance with a application, or if we are in need of troubleshooting the machine, we would like to initate a remote assistance request that takes the end user out of the equation so we don't need to walk them through how to send a email/file request.

I have enabled the remote computer for remote logins but for some reason I cannot connect with it. I get the error message that the client could not connect to the remote session. I have 50 other computers on this network all set up the same way and have never had a problem. Everything seems to be configured exactly the same. I can ping the remote computer.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHere is my problem. I am logged in to a machine via remote desktop and another user with admin rights logs in via remote desktop and logs me off because they assumed that I had forgotten to log off or whatever else. Is there any permission setting either in group policy or elsewhere that would prevent a user attempting to connect via remote desktop from logging off an already logged on user? The problem is that both users are and need to be Admins.

I cannot install a driver as it by default goes to C:.

I can format it but it is pointless because it has 0 free used space. I thought if I did that maybe I would be able to erase it, but that didn't work either.

my computer recently started logging off automatically as soon as i log in under any of our user names. It doesnt matter if its in safe mode or regular mode. I dont want to loose the data on the hard drive if i fix it some other way.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn our Windows 2003 domain at work, we have a number of laptops that connect to our network. The users of these laptops (both Windows 2000 and XP) need to take them home to work on them.Some of them have hardware devices at home such as printers and wireless home networks, which they may want to connect their laptops to. should you make laptop users a local administrator of their laptop? It would mean that they can connect anything to their laptop and install anything onto it. There have been times where our users have messed up their machines because they have local admin rights to it. What kind of policies do you lot use in this kind of scenario?

All the PC's on my network run Windows XP SP2 and connect to Windows 2000 servers. I need to give users access to 2 directories on the each PC that users have full control over. The others should be restricted (as they already are). I though that I could change the Group Policy of the OU and add the values %systemdrive%<foldername> under Computer Configuration->Windows Settings->Security Settings->File System and set permissions on the folder, but this does not work.
Obviously I don't want to have to visit each pc to do this so wondered if anyone has any ideas? I had thought of adding the <domain>Domain Users group to the security on the folder on the local pc but again would want to do this via policy and not visit each one.

type cd 3. Type Dir /a To show all files in root drive. Then identify the autorun.inf file (you may find other autorun-named files there. You this same method to get them out)4. Type attrib autorun.inf This will help you get the file attributes on the autorun.inf. Depending on the outcome which can be ash, i.e. Archived, System file, Hidden), do the following:5. Type attrib -a -s -h autorun.inf (assuming above result).This will make the file a normal file
6. Type del autorun.

bought a new portable HDD -Western Digital Passport 320GB, and I formatted it to NTFS on my laptop on XP. My main gaming PC has Windows 7 x64 on it and when I got home from my holiday I transferred my files to it and put BitLocker on it.Once I had done this I plugged it back into my laptop with XP on it, and it picks it up as Local Disk (F: ) and says it needs to be formatted. Why would this be? I thought okay, so I took off BitLocker off of it on Windows 7, and plugged it back in, and it was still saying it. What is the problem here? I right clicked it and it said the FileSystem is RAW, which didn't make sense as I formatted it to NTFS on the same computer.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhenever I log on to a non-administrator account, my computer automatically logs itself off again before I get a chance to do anything. I see the logging on message, and before the desktop even shows itself, I see the 'saving your settings' message, and I'm back at the welcome screen. I'm pretty sure it's a bad configuration in one of the administrative tools. I'm running windows xp pro on service pack 2.
