Embodiment Construction

[0015] As shown in FIG. 1, computer 20 includes one or more processors or processing units 21, a system memory 22, and a bus 23 that couples various system components including the system memory 22 to processors 21. Bus 23 represents one or more of any of several types of bus structures, including a memory bus or memory controller, a peripheral bus, an accelerated graphics port, and a processor or local bus using any of a variety of bus architectures.

[0016] The system memory includes read only memory (ROM) 24 and random access memory (RAM) 25. A basic input / output system (BIOS) 26, containing the basic routines that help to transfer information between elements within computer 20, such as during start-up, is stored in ROM 24.

[0017] Computer 20 further includes a hard disk drive 27 for reading from and writing to a hard disk, not shown, a magnetic disk drive 28 for reading from and writing to a removable magnetic disk 29, and an optical disk drive 30 for reading from or writing to ...

Abstract

Methods and arrangements are provided that can be used to identify users to an operating system during initialization through an advanced graphical user interface (GUI). The resulting GUI can be visually compelling and functional while advantageously remaining easy for the developer to create, maintain and modify. A markup language rendering engine is loaded substantially near the beginning of an operating system initialization procedure, and provided with markup language code that solicits at least one user input associated with a user logon process when rendered by the markup language rendering engine. The markup language code can be written in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Dynamic HTML, eXtensible Markup Language (XML), extensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML), Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), etc.

Description

RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application is a continuation of and priority is claimed to co-pending U.S. patent application having Ser. No. 09 / 539,231 and a filing date of Mar. 30th, 2000 for “Methods And Arrangements For Providing A Mark-Up Language Based Graphical User Interface For User Identification To An Operating System” of Sierra et al., which claims priority from U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60 / 170,955, filed Dec. 15, 1999 (Applicant's Docket Number 149399.1, entitled “Web-Based User Interface For User Identification To The Operating System”, express mailing label number EL425348720US). This co-pending non-provisional U.S. patent application is commonly assigned herewith and is hereby incorporated herein by reference for all that it discloses.BACKGROUND [0002] Computer systems are often protected by a logon program and / or other subsequent authentication programs that determine whether a user has permission to access certain computer system resources. By way of e...
