Mutliple Users with XP
 

I'll say sorry now if this has been posted before, but I looked and couldn't find it.

We have ntl dialup setup on XP with 5 users. We want to be able to access the internet from any account, but it only works on the one we installed it on. All the others try to register us again. You can't even get into IE, just loads the bloody registeration screen again!:mad:

All ideas welcome!:)

Re: Mutliple Users with XP
 

when you say registration page do you mean ntl's reg page? if so all you have to do is change the homepage of each profile. tools > internet options > homepage address - just type in the page you want here

Re: Mutliple Users with XP
 

No, I wish it was that simple!:)

It's runs the full screen registration program, like I'm a brand new customer:confused:

Re: Mutliple Users with XP
 

Are you connecting by USB or ethernet?

And you mean the NTL registration screen asking for your pid and password?

Re: Mutliple Users with XP
 

Yes, it's the one asking for PIN's and passwords etc. And it's an internal 56k modem for dialup, not broadband.

I thought it would be as easy as creating new shortcuts on everyones desktops!

Try this

browse to this folder

hard drive>program files>internet explorer>sign up folder
in there click edit select all and delete all files in the sign up folder,all will delete except the index .dat file.
This should stop the reg process running when launching internet explorer.
you may need to do this in each profile.
