Windows 95 Autologon Considerations

Question:

Can Winbatch be used to autologon a windows 95 machine ? The machine needs to logon to a netware server, so I don't think I can just use windows logon for this.

Any ideas on how to do this ?

Answer:

1. With Winbatch, it would have to run as a service. A lot of the password screens prevent other programs from messing with them. See the next option below.

2. A user reported that this is a function of the latest Tweak UI from Microsoft, and is very easy to implement. "Tweak UI" allows you to fine-tune ("tweak") the Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 User Interface ("UI"). It is available in the PowerToys pack from Microsoft.

   See:

   
   http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/info/powertoys.htm
   

Once installed, run the TweakUI applet in the control panel, and select the Network tab, and check the box "Log on automatically at system startup".

Note: the automatic logon password is not encrypted. Any user with access to Regedit can view or modify it.
