Switch user after auto signon using TweakUI

[Guest dingdongdingding@yahoo.com]

Hi !

I used TweakUI to auto signon after boot up. The reason is that I

want it to load the programs so that I don't have to wait when I user

the PC. However, it would leave the computer sign-on. I would like

it to go into the switch user interface panel.

I found on the internet there is a XP su command but I don't see

it on my computer.

Any idea how I can achieve what i want ?

 

Thanks very much for your replies.

Why do you want to switch users after launching your startup

programs? They won't be available when you switch to a

different user!

 

What do you want to use su.exe for? Have you considered

using runas.exe instead?

Hi Pegasus... it's you again... always help me out....

 

I want to go into the switch panel immediately cause I don't want

others to use my computer. They have other accounts for them to use

but I don't want them to be able to read my email, for example. I

just want my applications to be loaded so that I can access them

quickly so that I don't have signon and wait for them to load.

 

So I thought, the first program I run is SU to go to the switch user

panel, which locks my account from others but at the same time, the

program will continue to run and retrieve my emails.

 

Thanks !

It seems that you don't really want to go to the "Switch User" panel -

you actually want to lock your PC. You can do it by copying the following

lines into logon.bat which you must place into your startup directory. This

will lock up your machine about 300 seconds after logging on. When

you're sitting in front of the machine then you can kill this task in the

usual way.

@echo off

set delay=300

ping localhost -n %delay%

rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation
