Re: Windows XP Welcome Screen

Hi Douglas,

This is normal if you have only one user account in the system, and it's not password protected. Is this the case in your system? If so, assigning a password should prevent automatic logon.

Help!,

I am trying to enable the Windows XP welcome screen. I have tried
using Tweak UI and under the "Logon" tab, unchecked the box next to
"Logon automatically at system startup". I have also deleted the
following strings in the registry: "AutoAdminLogon",
"DefaultDomainName", "DefaultPassword", "DefaultUserName".
I am not a part of a domain, so I don't know if DefaultDomainName is
needed.


After I deleted all the strings in the registry, I shut down my
computer, restart and get the welcome screen but then if I reboot
again, I don't get the "welcome screen" and the computer just boots up
and bypasses the welcome screen and automatically adds the strings that

I removed from the registry.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.
