Hi all

In a previous thread i asked about how i would get my pc to start up on its own, and i've done that using the bios. Basically i want my pc to act as an alarm and turn on in the morning playing music.

My first question is how can i remove my login screen? I'm the only user on my pc, and i dont have a password.. yet there is still a "welcome" screen in which i need to click my profile to get to desktop.

My second question is how would i go about getting a music track to start playing when the pc is loaded?

Thanks for your time :)
 
for your second question(using winamp as an example)

1. go to start>run>type regedit
2. navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SOFTWARE
Microsoft
Windows
CurrentVersion
Run

once you are there you should see your startup registry strings on the right

3. Right click in the right pane

Click New>String Value

7. Name it Winamp
8. Right click on it>modify
and in 'Value Data' type the following

set it to load at startup!


c:\progra~1\winamp\winamp.exe "c:\program files\winamp\winamp.m3u"

(where c:\program files\winamp\winamp.m3u is the location of your music file, it can be an mp3. you must include the " ")
