[QUOTE="NickName, post: 61915, member: 21675"] Hi Roosterx, When you setup your XP to Autologin, it uses a stored password in the registry to login. This is your 'single' key login password. When you login remotely using Remote Desktop, it logs off the local current user. This means a user must login locally again to gain access. You need to have 'multiple [u]concurrent [/u]users' enabled to allow two users at the same time and thereby not need to login again locally. MS was going to do this originally with Microsoft Media Centre but pulled the required DLL when they released (non-beta) Microsoft Media Centre. FYI. The settings are all still in XP Professional and Media Centre to this and [u]technically [/u]it is illegal but still entirely possible to do. I believe they pulled it because on a slower Media Centre PC, there is a noticeable 'interference' in the local PC's operation i.e. jerky TV, etc. My guess is they are saving this functionality for the new Vista as an incentive to switch from XP.
