Table 2-2

Two values needed to support autologon are misidentified:

"DefaultUser" should be "DefaultUserName", and
"DefaultDomain" should be "DefaultDomainName".

Also, "LegalNoticeCaption" and "LegalNoticeText" do not need to be deleted
for autologon to work, as indicated by the text. They can in fact be "simply
set to null" ("").

In the code at the bottom of the page, the value that is set in the registry key
HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetServices{$sname}ParametersApplication
should be 'C:perlinperl.exe' or what every the fully qualified path
to the Perl executable is.

In the example script, the 'RegSetValueEx' function sets the value of the
'Application' key to the $srvany variable (which is the path to the
srvany.exe program). This contradicts the explanation given on page 22 #3.

The solution is to add another variable that is set to the Perl path:
$perlpath = 'C:perlinperl.exe'

and then set this as the 'Application' key value:
Win32::Reistry::RegSetValueEx
($NewHandle, 'Application', NULL, &REG_SZ, $perlpath)
