Hello Naser,

You can use this program to login interactively if there is no any login session as well. You can also just use ShellStartCredentialServer and disconnect the console.

Thanks a lot for your post.

For sate “1) When the current session is empty” that you said “This case is very clear.” how we can use this programmatically? What is the API or chain APIs that I can login interactively when there is no any login session. For example after system restart and before any login (I want to use API in my Windows Service to login into Win XP)

You'll need to have a custom gina for that. You can use FMLogin freeware gina(http://www.frontmotion.com/FMLogin/), it allows you to have a fast user switching on XP computer running within domain.

Have you ever found a way to get this working if there’s no welcome screen? I do need to log in domain users, and it behaves just as you described it would if there’s no welcome screen.

Hey Remko, are you aware of the awesome Super Fast User Switcher powertoy Microsoft had for XP but which they pulled later? Is such a thing possible for Vista/Windows 7?

very good internal stuff. That’s fantastic. I’m curious about more articles.
