Default where is my question?

I just posted a question about seeing if I can set up a password at system
startup but it has disappeared.
So, again, can I set up a password to appear before windows loads, at the
start of bootup?
Many thanks,

Next time - wait more than a few minutes.

Your post of just 4 minutes ago is there. Next time wait a few minutes
before wondering where it is. This is Usenet. There is no immediate
gratification here. Not only do you have to wait until your post shows up
but you also have to wait even longer for someone to happen to visit the
group that happens to think they know something of your problem that happens
to find your thread interesting that decides to read it and who happens to
then think they can respond to it.

This is Usenet, not a prattling chat room where posts show up immediately
with the expectation that they must be addressed immediately else they
become quickly stale and roll out of view. It takes time to accept new
posts and it takes time to peer them to other NNTP servers. At your own
NNTP server, it might be 10 minutes, or longer, from when the server accepts
your post (your newsreader gets an OK status back) to when it shows up in
the articles database. I don't use Microsoft's NNTP server anymore but when
I did it was a couple minutes before it showed up. And then you are not
directly using their NNTP server but the webnews-for-dummies gateway to
Usenet so they can pretend they have forums and that might add more delay.

What is Usenet:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsgroups
http://www.masonicinfo.com/newsgroups.htm
http://www.mcfedries.com/Ramblings/usenet-primer.asp

When using a webnews-for-dummies interface, like Microsoft's Communities or
Google Groups or a forum-to-Usenet proxy, those are gateways to Usenet.
Despite the appearance of a forum, you are participating in a newsgroup
(Usenet).
