Setting Environment Variables - Matrox 4Sight User Manual

48 Chapter 3: Managing the Matrox 4Sight under Windows NT Embedded
Changing the settings
of the Auto-logon
feature
Bypassing the
Auto-logon feature
By default, when Windows NT Embedded starts up, it
automatically logs you onto the Matrox 4Sight unit using the
Administrator account. You can change or disable the settings
of the Auto-logon feature using NTConfig. To do so, use the
Auto Logon Settings option of the NTConfig utility.
When the Auto-logon feature is enabled, it is possible to get
"trapped" in a Windows NT logon account that does not have
administrative rights. This becomes important if you want to
change certain system settings. To resolve this problem, press
the Shift key just before the Begin Logon dialog box appears
while Windows NT Embedded is booting. This will bypass the
Auto-logon utility and you will be presented with the Logon
Information dialog box. You can then enter the appropriate
user name and password.

Setting environment variables

Although you can define your environment variables in
C:\AUTOST.BAT so that they are automatically initialized at
startup, these environment variables are only present in the
command prompt window that processes C:\AUTOST.BAT. If
you need environment variables that are available for any
process, including Win32 non-console applications, add your
environment variables to the registry database of Windows NT
Embedded.
