Running PWB after startup

Post by spa »

Hi,

I'm new with PWB.
Our library uses Windows XP machines with IE8. And PWB.
How can I configure PWB to automatically run after the system starts up and automatically logging in with a specific user account?

Thanks in advance.

Neither of your needs are related to PWB directly, but here is what you can do.


To have Windows auto logon you can use the AutoLogon utility available on our Downloads page.


To have PWB start when Windows logs on you can either add a string value to the Run key in the Windows Registry.

Or add a Shortcut to PWB to the Windows Startup folder.

Thanks.

I have another question. I use HideGUI to hide desktop, taskbar...
In the readme.txt you can find information to disable HideGUI with SHIFT + F12. In the Formum I read that the combination is CTRL + F12. But neither combinations gives me the oppurtunity to disable HideGUI.
I hide the taskbar so I can't disable it via the taskicons.

For the Shift + F12 to work in HideGUI, you need to enable the Overrides, and the Keyboard hooks.

[General]
EnableOverrides=True

[Keys]
EnableKeyboardHook=True

The Keyboard hook need to be enabled so HideGUI can watch the keyboard for Shift F12 while it does not have the focus.
