Hi there,,

I am designing a windows app which starts itself at given time.

The problem is the password screen, it always shows up.

I do know the username and the password, but I want that I save it (username & Pwd) manually in my app and at prescribed time the application starts, which starts the windows from standby.

So can somebody tell me that how is that possible to bypass the login screen.

Regards,

Whatever you do, make sure you do not hard wire the username and password directly in the application. Consider putting it in a encrypted file of some sort.
