How can I stop Windows 7, showing all the user once a user disconnects

Hello

I use Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.

I went to the Start button. All programs | Accessories | Run, and ran the following command...

controluserpasswords2

... Running this command opens the "User accounts" window, on which I unchecked the option for "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer".  Then, I chose a particular user that I had named "Auto-connect" and entered the password of this user so that this user 'AutoLogon' could be connected automatically on every time the PC boots.  This is how I want to just it.

The "Automatic logon" user has limited privileges, I want my users to be able to and sign out and then sign in as a user with higher privileges.  Currently, when I try to do it by clicking the Start button, and then selecting Shutdown | Logoff, this brings me to the kind of a "Welcome screen" that displays a a separate icon for each user name which I configured on this PC.

I really prefer if instead of indicating the name of each user configured at this point, that Windows would require the user to type in here a user name valid (rather than just picking from the list).

If someone can tell me if this is possible (without giving up the ability to automatically connect my 'Automatic login' user), I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,
Paul

Run the policy editor gpedit.msc, then look for the item "Interactive logon". Now, select the item "do not display last user name."

  • How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive?

    How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive? do I have to call microsoft or I can retrieve it somehow to the old hard drive?

    Well, that certainly puts a different point of view on this subject.

    There are data recovery services that can recover data from disks that have suffered from various types of failures. However, they are quite expensive. Unless the data is particularly useful, it is generally not useful.

    If your Windows 7 is an OEM version, installed on the computer when you bought it, the manufacturer could have a recovery disk on sale. If it was a retail copy and you always have the appropriate product/serial number, you can get a DVD of their team of parts replacement.

    In the date picker, how can I default to select * dates if the user does not select a date.
    Thank you
    Doug

    Doug,

    Now lets say l want everything
    

    Could you post some sample data and the output you want to get... ? It would be very easy to understand the requirements...

    When you mean everything, I guess you need all possible dates between date1 and date2.

    You can use... (to asktom.oracle.com).

      1  select to_date('12-jan-2009','DD-MON-YYYY') + rownum -1
      2    from ALL_OBJECTS
      3    where rownum <= (to_date('20-jan-2009','dd-mon-yyyy') -
      4*                     to_date('12-jan-2009','DD-MON-YYYY') +1 )
    sql> /
    
    TO_DATE('
    ---------
    12-JAN-09
    13-JAN-09
    14-JAN-09
    15-JAN-09
    16-JAN-09
    17-JAN-09
    18-JAN-09
    19-JAN-09
    20-JAN-09
    
    9 rows selected.
    
    For your case, since you have date1 and date2...
    
    select to_date(:p12_date1,'DD-MON-YYYY') + rownum -1
      from ALL_OBJECTS
      where rownum <= (to_date(:p12_date2,'dd-mon-yyyy') -
                        to_date(:p12_date1,'DD-MON-YYYY') +1 )
    

    Should work... in my opinion... Have not tested the other by their Summit.

    Is that what you're looking for... ?? If no, please give details...

    Thank you
    Rajesh.

  • How can I stop Windows Live Messenger open at startup?

    Windows Live Messenger opens whenever I start my laptop, and it does not to her PIN on the bar of.
    Short of uninstalling this program (if that is even possible), how can I stop to open at startup and it detach all the time in the taskbar?  Thanks for your help.

    Hello

    I can help you to stop Live Messenger from running at startup but don't know why it won't let you it detach from the task bar. It should leave you with the right button and choose "unpin this program from the taskbar".
    On the login screen when messenger starts first, click Help on the right with the (?) and in the menu on the button, put a check mark next to "show the menu bar.
    OK - now you can access the menus at the top of the window. Go to tools-> Options.
    In the window that appears, click "sign in" on the list on the left and uncheck the box to the top right ("automatically run Windows Live Messenger when I log on Windows ')
    Next time you reboot, Live Messenger doesn't have to load at startup.
    It may be useful to uninstall and download again to see if there is a updated version that works better.
    Hope this will help
