Hi,
I have a desktop computer running Win7 that I've got setup to automatically login on boot for the kids to use.
I am now using Plex as my Media server and this requires you to be logged-in to run it - it can't run as a service using SrvAny or other such tweaks.
What I'm after is a way of automatically logging in the computer on-boot to both user accounts.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Derek
I originally misread your post and now see that you would like to have two user accounts automatically logged in at boot.
From my understanding this is not possible without running a Windows Server Operating System.
There are workarounds and alternatives, however.
If you would like, you can set up a script or group policy to load your server software in the background on startup, but under the credentials of your administrator account.
As long as you keep it in the background I do not think the kids will do anything to it.
This has been discussed in depth over at the following thread: Automatic login of multiple user accounts
Unfortunately, that won't work as Plex Media Center needs to interact with the desktop and wont start unless you are actually logged in.
