Ryan Dao Ryan Dao Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-03-09 Posts: 45	Hi, I did a search on autolock and locking computer and found nothing. I bought a few copies of genie backup, it works great except the computer has to be logon. Sometime users reboot their computer so backup doesn't run. I'm looking for some way to automate the logon process after reboot and autolock the computer so others can't access the machine. Please help...Thx

The problem with this is, how do you decide when to run it, as you obviosly can't just run it everytime someone logs in, or they would have to immediately re-enter their password. _________________________ (... better days ahead)

Sounds like a design flaw to me. You'd also most likely run into backup/restore problems unless the user is local admin or has the appropriate backup/restore rights. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
