Windows 7 automatic connection

You need to activate the automatic connection at startup for HTPC PC connected to TV without keyboard and mouse. HTPC PC launches Media Center automatically to allow the user to interface with the remote only. PC needs password to you connect on WHS to access the multimedia content of WHS. tried using the account invited on WHS without success.

Hi Peter,.

You can make Windows 7 automatically connect using an applet of control but for obvious reasons (security), it is not recommended.

If you want to do, you can do this with the following instructions:

1. press the Windows Key and R
2. in the Open box, type "control userpasswords2" - do not fully understand the quotes...
3. you will now see a checkbox indicating "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer - it uncheck the box and enter your credentials."

That's all.  When your computer starts now it log in automatically for you.  Now if you want to have the PC also start Windows Media Center software, you will need to put the shortcut in the startup folder in the start menu.  If you have any problems with this please let us know.

Kind regards
Jon

    Hello

    It should connect as much as the other computers with their car are on the account users are properly configured, security passwords are defined and firewall do not block.

    If the system is only yours and there is no need of local network security, enable the guest account on all computers, give them all the permissions and there will be less to worry about connection mapped, but local drive without security.

    PS Ce preceding is based on cable connections. If the connections are wireless, it's another story.

    Due to the maturity of the wireless adapter and their support through the OS, automatic connection could not occur.

    Wireless is great, but most of us try to sneak out of it the uses it was not designed for.

  • Windows 7 to automatically connect to the network after the standby or Hibernate mode

    This just started two days ago after an automatic update Windows 7.  Whenever I wake up my laptop, I have to manually connect to the wireless network.  He used to connect on its own.  Not changed anything with the network or router.  I have the connection to connect automatically, but it doesn't.  He, however, automatically connect when I start the computer.  I tried all the tricks of problems of the past... I see the network and it will connect and works fine after that I have to manually connect.  Just can't understand why, all of a sudden, he stops connection.  Again, this started 2/10 after a Windows automatic update... it seems that all updates have been security patches and I hesitate to uninstall them because I don't really know what one of them is.

    Yes! I think that I fixed it. I tried all this without result. Then it hit me. Turn off the "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" is fine and good, but what the USB port? They can do this also. "' Go to the Device Manager and do a right click, Yes, the network adapter and uncheck this box, but also do it for the" USB Root Hub "under"controllers of Bus USB.

  • Disable the automatic connection for Windows 7 with 1 single active account.

    I've searched high and low on Google but all I could find are methods to allow the automatic connection.

    Is it possible to have Windows 7 load to the top of the selection of Auditors even screen with 1 single active account?

    I remember what is a function available in XP.

    There are probably more simple methods, but it certainly works: create a fake account, then bring it to be hidden from the logon screen. The following batch file will do it for you when it is run under elevated privileges. Of course, you must disable the usual automatic connection setting via this command:

    Control userpasswords2

    And here's the batch file. Use the copy & paste - do not retype! Note that the line starting with
    "echo > % RegFile" is a very long line that ends in 'UserList]. " Not to break upward.

    off @echo
    Set RegFile="%temp%\reg.reg".
    echo > RegFile % REGEDIT4
    echo > RegFile % [HKey_Local_Machine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList]
    echo > RegFile % "DummyUser" = DWORD: 00000000

  • My PC (Windows 7), will automatically connect to the new networks unknown wireless is in the range. I want to stop it.

    I found a variety of positions that describe how to disable the "connect automatically" option for a specific network you connected to in the past (via 'manage wireless networks), for example:

    They do not resolve my problem because my computer connects automatically on * new, unknown * networks that I've never connected to the front (and also, even after it connects to these networks, they do not appear in the list under 'Manage wireless networks').
    Apparently, it set to the default behavior to automatically connect to the new network he meets, and I need that to turn off. Thank you.

  • Windows xp automatic camera detection

    Hey,.
    I have an Olympus Stylus Tough-3000 digital camera and Windows XP Professional. It works on my Windows 7 computer, but when I plug it to my XP computer, all I hear is the sound, and then get a box that says 'choose what program to use with your device.' There is not in the list, so I downloaded Picasa 3, but it won't work. And when I go to scanners and cameras then plug my camera, my camera icon appears briefly and then disappears. Help, please!

    Maybe something in the following collection of suggestions (already posted
    in the MS newsgroups) will shed light.

    Before that you connect your device to your computer, make sure that you have enough
    battery power or better yet use your AC connector if your camera came with
    one. Then check the manual of your camera.  With most cameras, you put simply
    on and set to take pictures with others, you need to put in
    something like connect to the PC or define the PTP. After the connection, power of the camera
    and wait about 15 to 20 seconds for XP to recognize the camera, you will hear
    some his "Ding Dong" and the LCD screen of your camera will change (the
    change is dependent on the type of camera you have) and you are now ready to
    transfer, even if the AutoPlay window does not open automatically.  If you
    do not hear a sound or the LCD screen of your camera does not change, the
    the USB connection is not correct. Go to the bottom of these
    directions to repair the USB connection.

     
    After hearing the sound:
     
    1. open my computer, look under devices with removable storage. Your camera
    (or card reader) appears as an external drive (probably listed
    below of your CD-ROM drive). Right-click on your camera listed as an external
    drive. A menu opens, click on AutoPlay listed in the opening menu. This
    should open the AutoPlay window to download your photos the same way as when
    the AutoPlay window opens automatically when you connect your camera.
     
    Or
     
    2. open my computer, look under devices with removable storage. Your camera
    appears as an external drive (probably listed below your CD
    by car). Double-click it to open it.
    You will see a folder, double-click it to open it, and then another folder, double
    click it to open it and you will see the list of photo files. Select all
    the files and copy them to a folder on your hard drive. To select all files, press and hold the
    Hold CTRL key and press the letter A. Or, click on edit on your top bar and
    then click Select all in the opening menu. When the files are selected, their
    the names are highlighted in blue.   You can then see the menu on the left
    file names and click on copy, then select the folder you want or
    Create a new folder.

    If you want to repair the automatic AutoPlay window you can try the
    Next.

    Different ways of trying to fix the window of Autorun for download from
    camera or card reader. Also, the same procedure can be used for a CD
    drive AutoPlay.

    Go I-V steps, although V step may not be necessary.

    I. connect your camera (or a card reader) to your computer and make sure that you
    have pictures on your memory card. Make sure that your batteries are equal to or greater
    again, use your power adapter if your camera came with a. If you try
    just connect with a card reader, with an inserted memory card and
    photos on the memory card. Turn on the device, wait 10 to 15 seconds for XP
    to recognize, you should hear a sound and the LCD screen of your camera
    will change, change is dependent on the type of camera you have.

    Click on my computer and look under the device with removable storage. Your


    camera appears, probably under your CD player and a player
    letter will be assigned to it (something like the H, G, etc.). You will use this
    The drive letter in a step below, so just note it on what the drive letter is.
    If you don't see your camera listed there, you'll need to fix your USB
    connection (see below for repair), or you are on a network and the network
    Player is Z and XP cannot assign a drive letter to your camera. You will need
    take care of that first. The following steps will not work if XP cannot be attributed
    a drive letter for your camera. In some cases, your camera may be listed
    but no drive letter. Try the drive letter after the CD or DVD drive
    registered at the camera.

    II. Click Start, click Run, and type the following command in the text box:
    REGSVR32 SHIMGVW. DLL
    and press enter
    Note that there is a space between... 32 and SHI...
    This will take a few seconds to run.

    III. download the file autofix.exe site below.  At this Microsoft
    site, you have the possibility to download the autofix.exe file in one of your
    folder (or create a new folder, and then save the file it), then open the folder
    Double-click the file, and then follow the instructions on the screen. Or,
    Let Microsoft scan your computer for repair. You will need your
    drive letter of camera during this step.  After that, restart your computer.
    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=c680a7b6-e8fa-45C4-A171-1b389cfacdad&displaylang=en

     
    IV. after reboot, power on, wait 10 to 15 seconds for XP
    recognize it, you should hear a beep and the AutoPlay window
    should now open giving you the opportunity to download pictures from the camera.

    V. you may need to set the options in this window.
    Click on my computer, your camera must be registered the peripheral with slot
    Removable storage. Right-click on it and click Properties. When opening
    window, click the AutoPlay tab, under Select, highlight the pictures to
    Select it. Select the warn me...  Do the same thing for a CD player.

     
    Another solution posted by Bill, using a Nikon camera.

    I installed the camera through the Control Panel Add Hardware feature. He went
    point of requiring a file called ptspusd.dll from the service pack, a. I have
    found the file via search on my hard drive. Type the path in the window
    who asked for her and she had. Solved the problem. See Configure your menu on
    the camera to see your USB setting is PTP

     
    To repair your USB connection:

    Go to control panel > performance and maintenance > system > hardware > device
    Manager > Universal Serial Bus Controller, click the plus sign + to see the list
    arrangements in place. If your device is connected, it must be registered with
    with a yellow flag (the yellow flag indicates that although the connection)
    is there, it does not correctly).

    Make a right click on it > properties > troubleshooting. See if the convenience store can
    Help. If this is not the case, click Action in the top bar, and then click Uninstall. Let your
    camera on and connected and reboot. XP should now recognize the camera and
    install it (I assume here that your camera is fully compatible with XP
    and according to your manual, you don't need to install a driver, that
    must be true for the cameras of 2001 and more).

     
    Also, make sure the software you use for photo editing. When you open the
    software, click file in the upper bar. Consult the opening menu. You
    probably have an option to download photos from a camera or a scanner or
    card reader.
     
    Something else could be the problem (this is a more recent, June 2004,

    problem) as shown here:

    All of a sudden there are not a lot of posts here on the camera wizard
    work. Same thing for me after work for at least a year. An of the
    messages mentioned the upgrade to Real Player seems to cause the problem. I have
    recently updated that also. Just uninstall my camera assistant and it came
    immediate return - this after weeks of trying to figure out what went wrong!
    --
    Brigit

     
    (Note: some have reported that uninstalling Real Player 10 works fine,)
    others have reported that they had to use the autofix.exe after removing
    Real Player 10. Real Player is aware of the problem and working on a fix).
    Apparently, he had no problem with Real Player 9.

    Another possible solution.

    Click Start, click Run, and type the following command in the open text box:

    cmd

    Press the Enter key

    A window opens (black and white) and displays the following text:

    C:\Documents and Settings\Votre name Name\

    Type the following at the end of the above line after the.

    Net start stisvc

    Press the Enter key

    You will receive a message that service is already started (if if it does not work)
    solve the problem) or it starts (if if it can solve the)
    problem). Then try to connect to your camera after you close this window. TO


    Close this window, type EXIT at the end of the displayed line and press on the
    Enter the key.
