Require Password after Login

0

I have a SSD for boot up ands its fast. I do not want the computer waiting for me to load all of my programs and services. I am the only user on my account. Is there a way to require the password after login. Alternatively if there is no proper way of doing it, I have found that:

Lock Workstation:

Rundll32.exe User32.dll,LockWorkStation

could maybe also be used. Is there a proper way of doing it in the windows. If not how can I have that command up there set to a startup script. If I were to go into Lock mode after login would in windows continue to run the start up procedures

Simply put your rundll command in a .cmd file and put it or a shortcut into the Startup folder. Combined with an autologon you should achieve what you want to. I suppose the timeframe between autologon and lock is a security hole. Considering your scenario that might be negligable of course.

@user320 - You have two choices. You can have Windows remember the password or you can supply the pasword yourself. You won't be able to create a script to provide your password that would be a huge security vulerability. Windows stores your password in a secure way. – Ramhound – 2013-09-26T11:40:15.197
