I am nearly complete in setting up a homebrew PVR system
with
XP
Home, but have encountered a problem. I schedule my
computer
to
start up right before my TV programs are scheduled to run,
and
hibernate after my recording. My TV software will not run
unless
it's actually displayed, which means login screens will
prevent it
from showing up. In XP Pro, I was able to disable the
login
screen
from appearing when returning from hibernate (gpedit.msc,
User
Configuration, Administrative Templates, System, Power
Management,
"Prompt for password on resume from hibernate/suspend").
However, XP
Home doesn't seem to respect this regkey. The description
of
the
setting states: Requirements:
At least MS Windows XP Professional or Windows Server 2003
family

My question: does anybody know of any other way of
disabling
the logon
prompt upon returning from hibernate? I've already tried
setting
autologon with TweakUI, but that only takes care of the
initial login
prompt. I had this all working perfectly in XP Pro, and
thought that
XP Home would simplify things. Seems a shame to have to
switch back
to Pro just because of this feature.
(being energy conscious, I'd prefer not to leave the
computer
on
24/7).

Try this,

Go to Control Panel and double click Power Options.
In Power Options, click on the Advanced tab.
Remove the check mark from the box next to "Prompt for
password
when computer resumes from standby".
Click OK.

Good luck
