Here's a solution for users that keep their password on a Post-It Note stuck to their monitor.
Using the free XN Resource Editor (see post from Feb 16 entitled "Get Rid of the Splash Screen on User Tool" for more details)... - Close WUT. - Make a backup copy of "C:\Program Files\AR System\User\resdlls\0009\RWUtlRes63.dll" for WUT 6.3, or RWUtlRes70.dll for WUT 7.0. - Start XN Resource Editor and load the dll file above. - Expand the "Dialog" tree and expand the 3010 folder, then select the item in the folder. - Click the Password field in the dialog window to select it. - Click the Styles tab. - Click inside the "Password" setting field and change it to False. - Click the Save button. - Start the Windows User Tool. Now users can see their passwords as they type :) Stephen -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michiel Beijen Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2007 10:53 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Lowercase question I guess there is one gotcha: it might be nice to convert login names to lowercase but passwords can be mixed case.... if you have caps-lock on by accident you might not notice it this way because the login is converted to lowercase (at least, at some point) and the password is hidden. -- Met vriendelijke groet / Kind regards Michiel Beijen ______________________________________________________ MANSOLUTIONS Energieweg 60-62 3771 NA Barneveld The Netherlands Tel. +31-(0)612968592 Mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet http://bsm.mansolutions.nl On 4/19/07, Shellman, David <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I believe that Dave's question really is more along the lines of not how > to make the login be lower case but how to have it transformed to lower > case even if the person logging in types it in upper case. > > Looks like Fred, Doug and others have given nice solutions for MidTier. > > I'm not sure how to force it for the desktop client other than > education, education, and more education.
