2006-10-19 Thread Portman

Except that with a VPC you don't need to reboot in-between. I had IE 7 beta in a VPC and IE 6 in my primary XP install but I've mostly been working on my Vista partition and using my Mac's VPC to test IE 6 while I'm over testing Safari, etc. in OS X 10.4. Cheryl D Wise MS MVP FrontPage

The answer takes a bit of finding, you have to type just the right question into Google. Most of our PCs at work have to be set up to prompt for a login but if you need something like a Powerpoint presentation to run immediately on power up then you have to do just what you are asking and set
