windows username & password

Post by David Lawson »

Is there a way to put or give a "windows username & password" into wine,
so that a program running in wine can use it? Specifically, I am using
Dragon Naturally Speaking Preferred 10 and occasionally it wants the windows username and password.
DNS 10 does not need the username or password to be useful, but it might
help in the long run. I am using openSuSE 11.1 and
wine-snapshot-1.1.44.20100518-1.1

I don't think Wine runs with any sort of distinction between "regular user" and "admin user", since it's run as the system's logged in username anyway... If an application still requires you to do this (which sounds highly unlikely, or at least I have never encountered it before in my life), try filling in your logged in username and an empty password.

Regedit will allow you to update the Wine registry. I don't remember
the exact key, but it is the User name and organization.

Wine does not need, nor require user names and passwords...
