Under Notification before logon, you can set a predefined notification that is displayed to all users
before logon - for example a warning from the boss not to surf the Internet during office hours. To do so,
first enable the Show message before logon option and then enter the title and actual text of the
notification in the input fields.
Under Error search during logon and logoff, you can specify that detailed status messages should
be shown during the logon and logoff process.
Tour
Windows XP:
First-time users can be invited to go on a tour of Windows XP following system startup. During this tour,
the user is shown all important Windows XP modules. Deselect the option Show Windows Tour after
logon if you do not want the tour to be activated after the system starts up. Under Scope, you can
specify whether this option only applies to the current user or to all users.
Welcome Center (Windows Vista) / Getting Started (Windows 7)
New users can be shown the Welcome Center (in Vista) or the Getting Started window when the
system is started up, which is designed to make setting up the system easier and shows links to
further information and offers on the Internet. You can turn this display on or off here.
Drives
General
Windows XP:
Here you make certain settings concerning your hard drives. For example you can enable UDMA66
support, which can speed up access to your drives.
Under NTFS file system, you can set two options that relate to the new Windows NTFS file system:
Save the date of the last access to a file and Save short (DOS) file names. We recommend that
you leave both options enabled, as disabling them may have negative side effects on the efficiency of
hard disk defragmentation and on compatibility with older software.
Memory space
Windows automatically sounds the alarm if there is only a small amount of disk space remaining on a
drive. If this warning disturbs you, you can disable the Display warning about low disk space option.
AutoPlay
Under Media change monitoring, you can turn on the Monitor CD drives for media change
option. If you do so, Windows monitors the CD drives. As soon as a new data carrier is inserted,
Windows reads it and tries to launch its content automatically.
Under AutoPlay, you can click on Advanced to open a window in which you can specify autoplay
settings for various data carriers, such as music CDs.
