Windows Forum / Virtual PC / May 2008Forcing use of VPC when logging into XP
I want to force the use of a VPC instance when a user logs into their account. Then, when they log out of their VPC instance I would like them forced back to the main system Welcome screen. Any ideas how to do this? Thanks in advance. -Lee I don't think it's possible.  SignatureBob Comer >I want to force the use of a VPC instance when a user logs into their >account.

You could write a login script that launches the virtual machine you specify, then runs the logoff command when that exits. It wouldn't be secure—you can't stop the user from getting to the host OS if they really want to. SignatureDavid Stardate 8373.9 Good point, the LOGOFF command in a batch file would work as long as there isn't anything else running.

There won't be, because we went straight into the virtual machine when we logged in! SignatureDavid Stardate 8373.9 As long as the user doesn't flip out of Virtual PC and start something on the host.
