mow Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 1. While creating new users with the GUI interface of WIHU (no INI files at all), I have noticed that the created user is always member of 'Administrators'. That is even if the checkbox of 'Add administrator rights to the new user' isn't marked. 2. When creating new user via Windows Control Panel and choosing "administrator", the new user is member of Administrator and Users. When created with WIHU, the user is member of Administrators only. Is that intended to be that way?Working on WIHU Version: 2.1.19.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is even if the checkbox of 'Add administrator rights to the new user' isn't marked.I've tested it but it wasn't here. New account was only member of "Users" Group.2.

Is that intended to be that way?Of course this intended. Administrators includes all rights of Users.Benjamin Kalytta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mow Posted July 1, 2005 Author Share Posted July 1, 2005 (edited) (1) About creating non-administrators users:If I look at computer management for the user I created right after the creation (before restart or logon), it's in the Administrators group. After first logon, I checked and it's in the Users group. So I guess it is ok...But I found something else: if your system (mine XP.pro.sp2) is already configured for automatic logon, if you create a new user, and do not mark the checkbox 'Logon user automatically', your current automatic logon is disabled. Perhaps it is better to leave it unchanged? Edited July 1, 2005 by mow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjaminKalytta Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 (edited) [...]and do not mark the checkbox 'Logon user automatically', your current automatic logon is disabled. Perhaps it is better to leave it unchanged?Yes it was also my opinion after I started my system today. I'll fix this in this way.Benjamin Kalytta Edited July 1, 2005 by BenjaminKalytta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjaminKalytta Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 (edited) Autologon is fixed now. You may specify either to disable auto logon, to enable or to leave it unchanged (default) [tri state check box].I've created an autologon tool so you may change your invalid autologon settings caused by WIHU. You'll find this tool at my homepage in download section.http://www.kalytta.com/autologon.zipBenjamin Kalytta Edited July 1, 2005 by BenjaminKalytta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenjaminKalytta Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Ok, I released version 1.2 of this tool. There are several command line switches:/silent: Don't sow UI/autologon=0 or 1/visible=0 or 1 : show or hide user on welcome page/username=x : set user name, use "" if user name contains spaces/password=x : set passwordBenjamin Kalytta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenjaminKalytta Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 (edited) Yes, this will disable autologon, and make your current account visible in welcome page.If you want specify another account than currently logged on account you may specify an alternative user account which should be used for logon in future. Then you have to use /username switch.Addition in Version 1.3:- Combo box for easy user selection- /username=%current% will select currently logged on userBenjamin Kalytta Edited August 9, 2005 by BenjaminKalytta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenjaminKalytta Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 (edited) It's definitely working, but it seems that you are using it the wrong way.May be you are missunderstanding the function of my tool. My tool prevents windows from logon automatically, it will NOT stop autologon for each admin account!As I said before, some applications reenable autologon in some cases such as windows network setup wizard.But just take a look at http://www.google.de/search?q=windows+regi...+AutoAdminLogonBenjamin Kalytta Edited August 12, 2005 by BenjaminKalytta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
