Is it possible to delay the autologon in Windows XP?
I've seen this issue posted before, but I've never seen an answer. I'm hoping something new has been learned in the last year or two.
I have an issue with autologon on a PC with an external (USB) wireless NIC. It's XP SP2 and we're using roaming profiles. The PC is configured to autologon but it doesn't make the wireless connection before the profile tries to load and it fails.
Is there a way to delay the autologon long enough for the wireless to grab the network? Maybe a registry key or script of some sort?
We've tried using GP to force it to wait for the network but it doesn't work.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

You could create a startup script (vbscript) with:

Thank you. Since we're using roaming profiles, where would I run the script from?

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
