Welcome Windows

[Drora]

Hello to all



I run XP PRO and I am a one man at this machine. I never needed any password

or having to choose between users.



The machine will open directly into the main screen and I start to work. But

windows changed it mind.....



At start:

On starting the machine gives me a windows to select between users. And this

is the least of it.

On closing:

It used to give me a nice three part picture with "Hybernate or Shut down

or Restart" This picture is gone and instaed I get a small window with MS

logo and a roller that I have to roll down and select what I want. Trouble

is that I can't see all this very well.



Can anyone help me restore to the good old style I had before?

Try this:

From the Control Panel select User Accounts. Then select Change the way

users log on or off. If the Use Welcome screen is checked, remove the

check and Apply Options.

Hello Chet

Thanks for the reply, I went to the location you mentioned but no joy

unfortunately.

I have unmarked the "Offline" and the "Hybernate" choices in case they are

the reasons but apparently they are not.

Click Start > Run and type: control userpasswords2 > OK

The User Accounts Property Sheet displays.

On Users tab, clear the "Users must enter a user name and password to use

this computer" check box.

Click Apply.



Go to Control Panel > User Accounts > Change the Way Users Log On and Off.

Uncheck "Use the Welcome Screen" and "Use Fast User Switching".



Control Panel > User Accounts > Advanced tab > Uncheck "require users to

press Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
