How to share ATI AIW settings with multiple users?
Every time a new user logs on to our shared family computer, I have to set
up MMC 8.5 for the All-in-Wonder 9000 all over again. If that was all there were to it, then ok. I could live with that. But I want to share the TV recording schedule with all users, which of course includes the "default" user when no one is logged on. As it is now, virtually all of our painfully setup TV schedules get missed because the user, where a schedule got set up, is not logged on when the show comes on. The other big problem is with the vcr files. They're huge, and there's no reason to keep extra copies. Thanks for your advice. |

You fail to mention what operating system you are using....
Since you mention the "default" user, as in no user logged in, I assum it's not Windows NT/2000/XP/2003.... If I am not mistaken, whenever a new user is created by just typing in a username and password, and storing the password on the system, the default registry settings are taken FROM the default user. So, try and setup the Default user's settings first, then try logging in with a new user name. "wdsnews" wrote in message ...

Sounds like it might be XP.
It seems more applications are sensitive to XP's multiple user scheme allowing every app to be customised per each user's preferences (this is likely the first step to requiring licenses for each user Try setting the schedule from Admin's login.

Someone correct me if I am mistaken....
I am using Windows XP Professional. I am unaware if XP Home is different in this matter: You cannot bypass the login process. There is no "Cancel" button like there is on Windows 95/98/Me to skip logging onto the system. This is the reason XP is more secure. So, we must assume he's not using XP..... but Windows 98/Me (surly not 95) "Vance McNeil" Vance @diogenese.ca wrote in message . .. Sounds like it might be XP.

With regard to XP I don't know if the following would work. When you boot up for the day, log into the user who has the scehdules. Thus the computer is geared to record. Then go back to the login screen. Now any user can log into their own account, whilst the TV account runs in the background. Andre |

set up. There is registry tweak though I think tweakui also offers this. That is bypassing the user-interactive login process yes, but you are still logging in with a USER NAME and/or Password. Those programs just enable auto-login, which stores your username and/or password and uses that information to automatically log you on. It still is a login process, and the login process cannot be bypassed. With regard to XP I don't know if the following would work. When you boot up for the day, log into the user who has the schedules. Thus the computer is geared to record. Then go back to the login screen. Now any user can log into their own account, whilst the TV account runs in the background. Yea that'd work. But keep in mind, most programs which require access to the computer hardware don't like to be opened more than once. The second user logged in could suffer error messages saying this program is already running.... but is simple to press OK and go about your business. Also, if it's not a very fast computer, having more than one person logged on at a time will degrade overall system performance. |

I recall that when I tried to use MMC from another user's account, I had to set up the TV all over again. Different profiles, different settings... That is already known. What I am trying to argue is you cannot bypass the login process on XP and login without entering a username &/or password, whether you type it in or click on a name or whether windows automatically does it for you (Auto Login, referring to my other post). The original poster mentions not what his operating system is, but makes references to the default user when you bypass logging onto the system. Since you cannot bypass logging onto Windows XP, he cannot be talking about Windows XP. |

I believe you need to do us the courtesy of responding with additional
information (please check the other posts). This is something that is really not liked... someone posts a request for help without providing enough information, and never responds with that required information. Usually ends to blocking that person from people's systems and you won't receive help from those people.... "wdsnews" wrote in message ...

If he used the word 'guest' it may have been more appropriate I think...but anywho 9x versions of windows share the setting unless
you evoke multiple users. Most people don't do this, but if the OP did , then just turn that off. If in fact your using XP/2000 there are administration controls that allow you to share desktop settings with other users. Alt.windows-xp "Vance McNeil" Vance @diogenese.ca wrote in message . ..
