Windows Server 2003 Fast User Switching


Recommended Posts

Okay, everyone, I've figured it out (how to enable xp logon and fast user switching in server 2003)

Click Start >> Run >> Type MMC Select File >> Add/Remove Snap-in... >> Add >> Group Policy Object Editor >> Add >> Click Finish and Close then OK

Navigate through >> Local Computer Policy >> Computer Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> and select the System folder

Then go into Logon

Then click "Always Use Classic Login"

Then click disable.

Then click OK and then exit.

ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think this works 100%... while I was able to successfully change back to the Windows XP login screen, as soon as I changed to a different login theme, it reverted back to the Windows Login Box.

I think I heard someone else say they had the same thing happen when they try to change the theme.

Anyone know for sure?

thanks

    • My update. Didn't see much point in the top panel since global menu isn't there, so going with a win/kde layout now. Overall, I would say Gnome is a disappointment - it's been 15 years and you still have to rely on a bunch of extensions to get anything useful out of it. At the same time, the way Universal Blue / Bluefin is approaching the desktop feels like what Ubuntu should have started doing five years ago (no wonder the guy I learned about this from used to work for Canonical). Maybe I should have gone with Aurora (the KDE variant), or Bazzite with KDE, but I think I have Gnome where it works for me now.       
    • GOG Galaxy offers connecting of other launchers into theirs. And while idea is interesting, I always had issues with Steam that would just lose connection and just not work. Which was annoying.
    • I remember that during the earlier development of Windows 10 a big deal was made about the Recycle Bin icon(s). https://www.neowin.net/news/wi...pdated-icons-in-this-build/
    • After having watched everything else Nathan has done recently and really enjoyed, (including The Curse) I started watching Nathan For You (as I did not see that back in the day) only on S1, E2 but I think it is silly? It is like he is taking the p*ss out of people he is supposedly helping. 🤷‍♂️ I hope it gets better. But I wonder if anyone who has watched it can chime in.  I know a lot of the premise and circumstance is ridiculous, but I kind of hoped he was actually helping people in a constructive way other than getting your frozen yoghurt shop know for that place that had a "poo flavor".
    • I think it makes sense for either, but the issues I bring up also exist for both.
