Tough one - NT login

[Judd]

OK, so you can set NT to login automatically. However, it cleverly stores your default password in the registry, entirely unencrpyted!!! (D'OH! Who thought of that?)

I know how to read/write from the registry in VB, and thx2 kedaman I have a nice key encryption routine, but what I don't know is how to make an exe run b4 and/or during logon.

(I'd like to store the password key-encrypted, decrypt it at login, login, and encrypt again for storage).

Anyone got any ideas?

This seems to work with a manual logon but I am not sure about with an autologon. You could give it a try. Add a key named whatever to the following part of the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

For the Value put the path and filename of the file to be executed. you could add the following part of the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

I belive it runs after logon.
Sorry I can't be more help. If I think of anything else or have a chance to test it I will let you know.

HTH,
