There is a registry hack to make a Windows box auto log in when it boots up. If you cannot find an example, get back to me and I will get a sample from a co-worker at a former employer. We had several dozen machines there which were actually servers, but the software was written for a GUI desktop. An auto-login with a Python startup script make them work automatically. Something like that may do the trick for your application. Vernon
