Hello,

In the litestep source there is the following code:

// Tell the Welcome Screen to close
// This has to be done before the first MessageBox call, else that box
// would pop up "under" the welcome screen
HANDLE hShellReadyEvent = OpenEvent(EVENT_MODIFY_STATE, FALSE, "msgina: ShellReadyEvent");

if (hShellReadyEvent != NULL)
{
SetEvent(hShellReadyEvent);
CloseHandle(hShellReadyEvent);
}

This works fine for XP, but does not work in Vista. Vista also ignores any GINA.DLL.

Does anyone know what this code should be for Vista?

I am looking for a way to dismiss he welcome screen in LiteStep.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Tony

Probably a better place for that question would be here.

You might have better luck on the general windows shell developers list:

I don't know that anyone has looked at or solved the issue yet.
