Do not show previous user

Oct 10, 2009 5 Replies

Hi All,



How do I tell Quick Books not to open the previous user in the Company's logon dialog? I want the user to have to put his name in every time and not know who last used the company file



Many thanks,

Found it:

Under Windows Server 2008, the Quick Books last user name is found in:

C:\ProgramData\Intuit\QuickBooks 2009\qbw.ini

in the section:

[LOGIN] LASTUSERNAME=Moe

I am going to force it to "Admin" and see if it takes for everyone.

It keeps overwriting with the last user name. I am still trying to figure out how to make it permanent.

I commented in the other thread....

What if you created a script/bat file that copies a saved version of the file that contains Admin as that value each time QB is launched?

Those turkeys at Intuit should put that kind of stuff in in each user's profile. But, Intuit can be awfully bone headed about that kind of stuff.

Exactly, Windows is what it is and there is a well known way to write programs that run on it that work with the now very old concept of profiles and also don't require normal users to have elevated privileges to run (one of the main reasons why Windows boxes are so easily compromised by malware).
