SomeoneE1se Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I'm trying to start an app interactively before login to the domain on a Windows XP box... anyone?I tried it as a service but that was a no go... try setting it as a service and make sure it can interact with the desktop. (there's a check box on the properties for the service) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickarse Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 Yeah it was... I got it to work but did it differently. HKEY_USERS.DefaultControl PanelDesktop Edit String SCRNSAVE.EXE to wherever the program you want to run is Edit String ScreenSaveActive to 1 Edit String ScreenSaverIsSecure to 0 Edit String ScreenSaveTimeOut to whatever seconds you want to wait, I put 20 to allow time to login but also let me run the program... Works great... I'm adding this to my sysprep and I have a program that auto installs hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mubix Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Yeah it was... [snip....] Works great... I'm adding this to my sysprep and I have a program that auto installs hardware. First, if you have a software program to auto install hardware plz share. Second, What exactly are you running previous to login? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickarse Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 Its a program called hardware, go figure, from the msfn.org forums. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=70209 Thats the only program i'm going to run before login to the domain after reimaging with ghost. I had it setup with a guirunounce but found that sometimes windows tried to install hardware before the program could. Forgive me if i'm brief I'm on my PDA...
