    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.
