    WinXP Pro Login/Logoff screen

    Hey all, this isn;t VB related but I've searched all over the net and can't find an answer to this.

    In WinXP you have a welcome screen that has users with their logos. You click on a logo and it takes you to Windows with your profile.

    When you log off you have a window popup that has 3 buttons. Hibernate/Restart/Shutdown.

    Well, I've done something and now I have the old style log in and log off windows. When I go to log off for instance I have a little window popup with a drop down that has Shutdown/Restart/etc.. in it.


    Anyone know how I change it back to the regualr XP style login/logoff?


    Thanks!

    It seems to me you upgraded from WinXP Home to WinXP Pro, in which case there's really no point in trying to get them back.

    No, I had Pro to start with. This just the "Style" of the way it works/looks. But it still basically does the same thing.

    Im not sure if this is the answer but it might help:

    Start > Run

    Type: Control Userpasswords2 and press return

    on the users tab I think the top tickbox might be ticked.

    Just a thought

    Regards

    Goto Start -> Control Panel -> User Accounts and click Change the way users logon and off. Make sure it says use the welcome screen.

    BTW, both checkboxes are checked by default.
    I use Microsoft Visual Basic 2005. (Therefore, most code samples I provide will be based around the .NET Framework v2.0, unless otherwise specified)
