I have a second machine which I can access via "Remote Desktop" using wired connections to my router.
I want to boot up this machine without a keyboard/Mouse/Monitor connected, (ie viewing directly from the main pc)
Can this be done? At present I have to connect a keyboard, Boot up, then disconnect the keyboard. (I only have 1 keyboard)

In BIOS, under Standard CMOS Features, change setting "Halt on" to "all but keyboard".

I'm pretty sure that should do the trick.

Thanks. A nice and simple solution.
