Ok first of all, i think i better explain what it does. If you are currently using password-protected user, u will find this very interesting. If you are not, it might change ur mind. It will load-up everything BEFORE u even key-in the password. So after u enter the password, u are ready to-go without have to wait like you did before.

Here how it works in pictures:

loading like normal during startup..



and then, in all of sudden, this log-on password appears ! poof !!



For the tutorial steps, it seems pretty long and hard, but trust me it isnt that hard. I wish i can do it on video which is a lot easier and clear. But i know vid take forever to load, so i think this will be just fine.

FOLLOW the instruction from the beginning. IF u skip any of these, there's chance that it wont work out for you.

STEP 1:

Here is what u need: U must have Tweak UI.

Here is how u start: Download that Tweak UI. Install it on your pc.

Double-click on the downloaded file. Unzip it first. then Run Winzip.



Right-click and select Install



Now u will have it on your control panel.

Double-click on the Tweak UI Icon.



Go to Logon tab. Fill that out and dont forget your password!



make sure u key-in THE SAME EXACT username and password u have on the user accounts

STEP 2:

For Step 2, we will start with Start button, then => Run



Type in "regedit" in Run



______________________________________________________________________

Once its open, just click every file that I pointed out below.This is the sequence. Make sure you got it right

HKEY_CURRENT_USER => Software => Microsoft => Windows => Current Version => Run














This is where you check if you are in the right direction or not



It is more helpful if u see the pictures from this point:

1) Right click on the right side of the panel. then New => click String Value



2) Name it "Lock"



3) Right click on "Lock", then select "Modify"



4) Type in rundll32.exe user32.dll LockWorkStation <------ copy paste this is easier bcoz u might confuse the dll consist of what



Make sure u get all the steps right again. The sequence is : TweakUI => User Accounts with exact name and password in TweakUI => the "regedit" / registry editor ended with "rundll32.exe user32.dll LockWorkStation"

Now restart your system to see the effect. Good luck and enjoy your tweak !

p/s: dont ask if that was me in the logon picture. That is definitely not me. He is Solid Snake in the becoming Metal Gear Solid 4.

wah!...what a great and useful information you have...
guess...you been doing it all night is it?...thanks for the tips...

so back to my problems...i switched my wifi options from Intel wireless to windows wifi...
and it seems working fine and no problems occured...
even before i slept...leave the XPS on and used back in the morning...wifi still on...no problems...
so i suspect it's because of Intel wireless on...
so any of you guys got any ideas about the Intel wifi problems?...
need some suggestion and ideas...didn't call Dell yet...

Better use the Windows wifi thingy... ProSet does some funky things sometimes, dunno why... There's no choice in Vista though, no ProSet...

Thx. Actually i just use to play Need for Speed Most Wanted. The previous game i play many years ago is final fantasy 7

I love the bling-bling of the DWM desktop...that's way thinking to upgrade to Vista. How about the time take to start up the window Vista? also running some software that consumes a lot of memory...faster than XP?

So far i just HARD RESET my system once....

I dont have much time rite now, but ill say if u prefer game performance over eye-candy, wait for awhile because u gonna have some performance loss on Vista. I'll get to u more. dang, im late.

Don't feel so bad...many XPS user out there face the same problem

Is OK for me as long as no problem occur and still cover by 3 years complete cover

Oh please make it the M1210 replacement model and stop selling the M1210 so that they won't have anything to replace the M1210 if any of ours stop working and requires a replacement...

DARN!!! It's so freakin nice!! and the specs too!!!
but wondering how's the pricing....

Add around rm500-1000 to the current price... And that's the lowest specs... Expect a 1000-2000 increase for fullspecs... I think...

But if they offer this at RM4200 (give or take a few hundred), I'm gonna get pretty pissed at myself cause I didn't wait long enough...

Maybe RM4999 but when does it release ?

Rumours has it, 26 June for US release... Here no idea...

iPhone is coming out June 29th, I like this month, its a great month. Everything is out this month. Oh please dont mention about waiting, bcoz if the m9750 is coming out this great June, im the one who will be really really pissed for not waited long enough (why? bcoz im running on a freaking single-core).

Haha, I heard... At least you have SLI... But yeah, it's a great month... Are you gonna get the iPhone over there?

WOW ! dam nice man...luckily, i didnt go for vaio.. for DELL !!

if i have that bunch of money, i would rather buy a 360 Elite or ps3. freaking Halo 3 and Metal Gear Solid 4 are coming out this late summer/ early fall.

and oh, im currently using Nokia 3205i.

Nice = Expensive... Ah, the currents of technological development (arus pembangunan teknologi)...

Added on June 5, 2007, 2:22 amSeconded... Hope the Elite reaches our shores soon... and drops the current 360 prices... Halo 3, Vegas, MGS4, Bioshock, Asassin's Creed; here I come!

And I've added a Codec section to the ESSENTIAL PROGRAMS list!

yup, but err i dont think MGS4 will be on the Microsoft platform tho. I remember reading about it somewhere that it will be exclusive for ps3. We'll see..

There were rumours on gamespot that it might turn to the dark (microsoft-y) side of the force... Hoping that it's true...

Hey guys, is it just me, or is Dell selling the Razer Diamondback at RM20++ cheaper then market price? Lowyat's selling at around RM160+-, even in the garage section around that price... Dell's selling 'em for RM139, and no shipping costs are indicated...

Granted, they're only selling 'em in one colour, Magma Red... Gotta check with my SA...
