Re^2: Is there a way to make Windows load a Perl script from bootup?

Well I know XP has a username/password login and I know usually you shouldn't reinvent the wheel. But I'd find it much more interesting to have a login that I made that's not even tied to Windows but would prevent anyone from signing on. That's all

It might not be the best thing I've ever made but it'd be a lot more fun signing on with Perl in the morning.

As for that other anony monk, where you saying I was trying to create a password stealer? I'm not even trying to get this tied to Windows directly at all, the password I set up will be in a file somewhere to be used as a reference when signing on. It's not going to run from a Windows password if that's what you're getting at.

I suspect it's not possible in any practical way. It would be very difficult to bypass the normal logon to start with, then I suspect you would have to effectively replace the code that brings up the desktop and that is likely burried in the bowels of Windows. DWIM is Perl's answer to Gödel	[reply]
