Guest autologin and startup

I would like to use the command line to start a VPC image and have it auto
login and run a program? I know I can create registry keys in the guest for
auto login and run/run once, but I want to pass them on the command line.

Virtual PC.exe –singlepc –autologin:user=administrator pw=xyz
–run=\\server\myapp\myapp.exe

thanks

How about using Virtual Server instead? It runs as a service, so
there's no need to mess with stuff like this. Plus you can have VPC
and VS on the same computer without issue.
