Windows 7

Some useful information for setting up Windows 7


#1 Want to auto login to MSN hotmail when you click on the MSN mail link but Firefox or your default browser takes you to a sign in page where you have to manually enter the password?



Then you need this tool Hotmail in IE, it will make it so emails will open up in IE but you can keep your default web browser as something else.

#2 Disable autoplay for CD/DVD & USB

1 Click the Start and Input "gpedit.msc" in search box, then click the result to open the gpedit
2 Expand Administrative Templates >Windows Components > Autoplay Policies in order.Then double click "Turn off Autoplay"
3 Click Enabled, and then select All drives so that you can disable Autorun on all drives.Click Ok at last.
4 After restarting your computer, you have done all the needed work to disable Auto Play in Windows 7.

#3 If you want to stop other users/accounts from logging into your PC and only allow yourself access to the PC

Local Security Policy, User Rights, Deny Logon Locally. Explicitly assign the users you don't want to be able to log into the local PC
