Automatic login and locking the workstation on restart

At work we are running windwos server and when there is an important update, windows automaticly installs it and restarts the pc. That's a problem because we need some applications to run all the time.
I did a little search on te internet ( google is your friend) and came with the following result:

first I needed the make the pc login automaticly on restart. On the site of Microsoft I found I could fix this with a little change in the registery.
To do that u need to type the command regedit and to go to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

There u have to change AutoAdminLogon to 1.

Now to make the workstation lock automaticly at startup I made a little Batchfile.
Open notepad and type the folowing text:

RUNDLL32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation

save it as a .bat file and put it into your startup programs.

The pc will now lock on startup.

LPI registration

I've been busy lately, a lot of work and a lot planned in the weekends. ( went to the thermes of Spa, ...). A few days ago I decided to take the LPI exam and registered online. LPI stands for Linux professional institute.
I was looking for some kind of a study book and ordered LPIC I by Ross Brunson.
Then I looked a little further on the internet and came across a wikibook.
If some people are interested I made an PDF of it. U can find it here.

How to put the trash icon and home icon on the desktop with Gnome

If u are using Ubuntu, the trash icon is located in the taskbar. Some people prefer to have that icon on the desktop. I'm going to show how to do it.

First press Alt + F2 and enter gconf-editor. this will show us the Gnome configuration editor.



Go to Apps --> nautilus --> desktop . On the right side select trash_icon_visible.


If u want to have the Home icon as well on your desktop, u can select it too ( Idem for computer and network icon) .

If u have any comments please post them.
