I have a Compaq EVO t30 that I acquired. I want to be able to use it was a low-cost web browser only machine on my home network.
Currently it tries to boot to a Citrix ISA client (left over from a bank I think, as it says Desktop Teller west).
Is there a way I can somehow get it to boot to its native operating system (windows embedded) without first loading the Citrix client? Is there some secret keystroke that gets it to boot in safe mode? or something like that?
I saw a bunch of posts on how to convert it to Linux, but wouldn't be easier to just modify its equivalent of its autoexec.bat file? If so HOW?

Where's the solution country?
This helps, but I have already seen those links to HP sites.
I cannot tell what embedded windows is on the box, as it boots directly to a citrix login and I cannot get around that.
I tried using rapport to remote manage, but then all I got was a VNC screen that was asking for a password that I do not have..
It would be great if I can access the control panel, but like I've said several times before, it boots right to a citrix screen and I cannot do anything like that because its trying to log into the "desktop teller" system
My original question was asking for a way to remove that sign-in screen, so that I can get to the control panel. I was hopeing that there is some key-sequence (like ctrl-F8) that would allow me into the system in something like a safe mode, where I can make the changes like you suggested.
Thanks for trying.
This is not a computer its a thin client.
I am not sure if you've read my comments, I cannot get to the control panel -- if I could I wouldn't be posting on this (or any) forum.
It seems as if you do not have direct knowledge of the EVO t30..
Thanks for trying.
I have the same COmpaq Evo T30 with Citrix Client.....same problems as Citrix boot up and I am not able to get into its BIOS even if I press F10 key. Can anybody tell the when and which key to press to get to BIOS and change the system. PS/2 mouse isn't working and USB mouse works but donot right clicks. The best thing to reinstall the operating system but I don't have the old CD now.
Should I try Linux or something else but how can I reach BIOS????
