In Reply to: RE: Implement MINLOGON posted by rickmcinnis@dogwoodfabrics.com on September 19, 2009 at 18:59:23
to all of you having implemented MINLOGON :
my music server is not entirely a data server only, but a XP based cPlay>JACK audio connection>thuneau ALLOCATOR crossover>lynx twoB -music mashine.
-in order to keep this rather tricky combination running smoothly, I´m dependent on a .vbs script to connect all the components and "fooling" the ASIO drivers.
this script was a nerve breaking task to get figured out, so I´m cautious to do it any harm, but I´m keen to implement MINLOGON and wonder which changes MINLOGON does to the functionality of this crucial script command.
-will MINLOGON still "acknowledge" the desktop ?
-which threads|accounts does MINLOGON alter ?
-where to put this .vbs script and it´s dependencies before implementing MINLOGON ?
give me encouragement !
Follow Ups:
1. You will be using the Default User desktop, and will need to redo many of the customisations you did for cMP.
2. It would be easier for you to try with what you have than do the research to catalogue all the system differences with minlogon.
3. I've used simple vb programs with minlogon without difficulty, but couldn't say if yours will work - again, try and see.
I like to experiment on a separate machine before messing with my primary source of musical enjoyment, but if you can't do that, you should be able to revert from minlogon back to your usual desktop if necessary. Proceed carefully, and read all the threads about minlogon.
Is it convenient to back up your system drive with something like TrueImage? I think it's alot less tedious than researching every detail about minlogon.
"We should no more let numbers define audio quality than we would let chemical analysis be the arbiter of fine wines." N.P.

Agreed. I'd go further and say that creating image files of the system partition at key points in a cMP^2 build is mandatory, especially if you have a bespoke setup as play-mate does here. Recovery from a howler takes minutes, not hours,
Finding optimal network settings for a "headless" cMP^2 system (there were surprises), I must have restored a "last known good" twenty times or more. Without image backups, I'd never have managed.

Again, I agree but, when seger says "read all the threads about minlogon", I'm not sure it's necessary. Follow the procedure at:
http://cplay.sourceforge.net/pmwiki.php?n=CMP.ApdxBAdvanced
which was, well, first described by seger. It's rock solid. (The manual method is best left to those atoning for sins.)
Th minlogon tweak is very effective but acquired an early reputation as flakey. With seger's method and provided a backup is made first (to guard against user error), I don't think it's true any more.
Go for it.
Dave
