Re: How so I disable the welcome screen for Windows Logon (Standar

Thanks, Sean. That worked great, but now I have a blue background and a
mouse cursor that I need to change. What is the correct way to modify the
background color of the Administrator's profile and how do I hide the mouse
cursor by default?

Thanks!

Uncheck the two boxes in the Windows Logon (Standard) component's settings
tht enable the user friendly logon screens. This changes the logon to the
dialog box logon. Make sure automatic logon is setup.

Then set the following registry key to 1:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system\DisableStatusMessage

Hello everyone,

I’m using Windows XP embedded with “Windows Logon (Standard)” instead of
minlogon. This is necessary due to some 3rd party software being used in
the
image and I don’t have the option to not use “Windows Logon (Standard)”,
so
please don’t suggest this. I must use it or something else that logs me
on
as Administrator. My problem is that using “Windows Logon (Standard)”
shows
either the welcome screen or a logging on to windows dialog box. Is there
any way to disable this so that only a black screen (or something similar)
is
shown? The welcome screen is inappropriate for an embedded device. I
find
it difficult to believe that Windows XP _EMBEDDED_ does not have a way
quietly to boot up into the Administrator account. Am I wrong?

Thanks in advance.
