password per computer?
« on: January 28, 2012, 10:31:22 AM »
Greetings,

I installed TV7 on two windows xp computers, and added them to a TV-account.
(Both are logged in on the same tv account)

TV will start automaticly when windows start, and i added a permanent password on each
computer. When clicking on the other computer in the 'my computers' list, it let me control the other computer.
So far it works.

My question is: is it possible to require a (permanent) password for each computer for logging in?

When i add some relatives to my account, they will be able to view my desktop without entering a password,
or even relatives between each other are able to control others computer. That's why i want to have a password per
computer. Is this possible?

( I got this feeling that i just oversee a very simple thing..... )

Thanks in advance for any help.

you add relatives computers to your list of computers and contacts, without them being on the same 'account'

Your 'account' is for your computers only
Your relatives can have a separate 'account' and you can still connect to them

That was the reason why it was so messed up here, indeed   ;D

But i still got a question, as you wrote: your 'account' is for your computers only

I noticed that when i use the display names:
for the laptop   :  " laptop "   and
for the desktop : " desktop "

after signing in and out with both computers, on the same 'account', often the desktop got the display name of the laptop,
and the other way around.

Is it possible to put my own computers at home in one 'account', or
does it mean that every computer needs to have its own 'account' ?

Rather than use display names...

In 'Computers and contacts', right click on a computer, and In the alias type 'laptop' or 'Desktop', or whatever

Display name is 'My Company Name'....
