Stealth login

[theS70RM]

Hi,

I know windows stores the default login name (shown in the windows login box) in the registry (its a different registry key from xp to vista) and I want to stop it remembering admins passwords. So users can't easily tell that someone else has been logged onto their machine.

Does anyone know a solution for this?

Im not sure if it updates the registy with the current user when you successfully logon, or as you are loggin off but I thought about maybe having a bat file to store the original registry value (ie the previously logged on user) and then another bat file to restore it on logoff.

Does anyone know an easier solution to this? Group policy? Or else, do you know how to check/store registry values from a bat file?


Thanks

Andy

Cheers,

I eventually solved this using group policy and a couple of .bat files

I added to normal users login scripts a batch file that detects the operating system and then exports the appropriate registry keys to c:\whatever.reg . Then I put a batch file in the administrators logon that checks if whatever.reg exists and if it does then it imports it back into the registry.

Seems to do the trick
