Обсуждение: postgreSQL problem
hello!
I just recently installed PostgreSQL for my HoldemManager application, and after a restart, there was actually a new windows user account named postgre on the startup along with my admin account for windows (if i didnt make it clear -- the account to log in to windows, before windows start). So is that a normal thing or not, because i know i didnt do anything wrong with installation or the setup.
Thanks in advance for answers,
Luka

OTOH, I'm not sure what mechanism is used to prevent this. ah, a little googling... on 32bit windows.. registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList has a value with the username and a DWORD of 0x00000000 to block the user from being displayed. on 64bit Win7 at least, this is in HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList instead.

Especially a switch at account creation time. -- To understand recursion, one must first understand recursion.

If I'd been designing it, I likely would have done it with group membership... like anyone who was a member of 'Login Users' or something. but hindsight is always 20-20.
