Default T4 users only nobody else

this is one for all the t4 guys on here
are you fed up with the t4 software going straight into the program when your laptop is powered up and not to the windows desktop as normal.
well is so i have found a way that you can get the laptop to go straight to windows desktop and you will have an icon on the desktop for the t4 menu and all you have to do is double click it and the t4 software opens up.
i have done a how to if anybody is interested in this then pm me your personal email address and i will email it over.

it is a bit more in depth than that as you are going to be modifying the windows registry

Wouldn't mind it myself. I've made manual changes to the registry and startxp.bat file so all is fine with me, except the laptop still shuts down when I quit t4menu...

Did you not get Omitec CAPS with your T4 Lite? I'm sure I have a spare kicking about if you didn't

Now, if I ask what Omitec CAPS is, does that answer your question?
