[QUOTE="bigboss97, post: 40549, member: 18233"] I'm running my MP on XP (SP2) with a wireless trackball and using an USB keyboard. I only connect it when I need to do some installations or setup. Since it's not very comfortable to do this in front of a plasma tv I've just tried out the XP remote desktop (RD) to control the HTPC from a PC. Originally, my PC was setup without any login and password. But without password RD doesn't work. So, I added a single letter password. It's still okay when I boot the PC, no need to enter passord. But whenever I've used RD the HTPC is locked. Then I need to enter the password (connect my keyboard) to unlock it. I found the problem described on net [url=https://secure.experts-exchange.com/register.jsp?rsid=20&srid=Rz1NCE1NVDgUMc7WyYDfaA%3D%3D&redirectURL=%2FOperating_Systems%2FQ_21243332.html%3Fqid%3D21243332&rsid=60]secure.experts-exchange.com[/url] but haven't found the solution. What I currently need is either a solution for the above problem or something allows me to unlock my HTPC without a keyboard (with mouse click) thanks Phuoc [/QUOTE]
