Re: Change Welcome Screen

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

From XP help....... Tried that?

To turn the Welcome screen on or off

You must have a computer administrator account on a computer that is a
member of a workgroup or is a stand-alone computer to turn on or turn off
the Use the Welcome screen feature. Logging on at the Welcome screen is not
available on computers that are members of a network domain.

1.. Open User Accounts in Control Panel.
2.. Click Change the way users log on or off.
3.. Do one of the following:
a.. To specify that users log on to the computer using the Welcome
screen, select the Use the Welcome screen check box.
A user logs on to the computer by clicking his or her user account name
on the Welcome screen. If a password is assigned to the account, the user is
prompted to type it.

b.. To specify that users log on to the computer without using the
Welcome screen, clear the Use the Welcome screen check box.
The Welcome screen will no longer appear when you start the computer. To
log on to the computer, type your user name (and password, if you have one)
in the standard Log On to Windows dialog box.

Thanks Patti but it didn't work, said there was no problem. I should have
changed the Welcome Window back before I uninstalled the program. Also
for
some reason my sign in icon does not come up on the welcome screen, I have
to
use alt-ctrl-delete to bring up a sign in screen, can't figure that one
out
either. I'm 75 years old and my computer is my toy so sometimes I decide
to
download things I think would be cute, etc. and I get myself in trouble.
If
you or anyone else has any ideas, please let me know. Thanks again.

I downloaded a program that enabled me to use different welcome screens

decided to uninstall that program but unfortunely I didn't change the
screen
back to the XP welcome screen before uninstalling. I know there must
be
somewhere on my computer that I can change the welcome screen back.
Please
help...Thanks in advance.
