MyLogon

MyLogon is an alternative solution to the standard Windows Logon or Welcome Screen, which may offer advantages for certain types of network.

MyLogon is intended to make the process of connecting to a LAN quick and easy, even if you normally work away from the network for most of the time, and only occasionally connect..

It is mainly aimed at users who have exclusive ownership of their computer, and wish to connect to one or more networks as-required. -Or for situations where a computer is provided to a pool of users, to perform a specific and unchanging task.

A key difference between MyLogon and the Microsoft logon is that with MyLogon, the act of connecting to the network will not change your desktop's appearance, or alter any other settings on your own computer. In other words, it will not reprofile your computer.

Here are some key features of "MyLogon":

￭ Permits "Any user, any computer" logon. ￭ Transforms ad-hoc workgroup into a 'real' network. ￭ Well-suited to data-entry "kiosk" applications. ￭ Saves on licensing-costs for very small networks. ￭ Permits Windows XP Home to join a network. ￭ Ideal for laptop-users who visit several sites. ￭ Suits most Windows servers, and Linux/Samba. ￭ Simplifies user-account management.
