Batch file to AutoLog to NT/2000/XP only and disable the Novell Login screen

Configure Auto-Login to NT/2000/XP only and disable the Novell Login screen.

________________________________________________________________________________________________

@ECHO OFF

:: Configure Auto-Login to NT/2000/XP only and disable the Novell Login screen.
:: For Novell Client versions 4.7 thru 4.9
:: Similar to the 'Workstation Only' checkbox.

:: Save or rename this file extension as AutoLog.BAT not AutoLog.txt to use.

:: If the primary connection's password expires when running the NetWare Login
:: utility from the icon, then the user will be given the chance to synchronize
:: all NetWare and NT passwords. Users should not synchronize the NT password,
:: because NetWare Login does not update the Registry settings for auto-logon.

:: Using AutoAdminLogon opens your network to a security risk, as it exposes
:: user IDs and passwords and it lets any user who starts the workstation use
:: these embedded credentials.

:: Since writing this, this utility was discovered by Tommy Mikkelsen:
:: www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tools/1035.html

:: THIS BATCH FILE HAS NOT BEEN WIDELY TESTED. GREAT CARE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO
:: ENSURE THAT THIS BATCH FILE PERFORMS AS IT SHOULD. IT IS PROVIDED "AS IS",
:: BY USING THIS BATCH FILE, YOU AGREE TO USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
