lovely Posted August 4, 2001 Share Posted August 4, 2001 How do you get the XP welcome screen (w/ the icons and user names) to show at start up and logon? Whenever I startup I get the traditional Ctrl-Alt-Del window w/ out icons. This requires me to manually enter the logon person? Thanks:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted August 4, 2001 Administrators Share Posted August 4, 2001 Start Menu > Control Panel > User Accounts there you can turn on/off the Welcome screen. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdibias Posted August 4, 2001 Share Posted August 4, 2001 Then click on the *Advanced* tab, assuming you are in classic view :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getchoo Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 well, i?m running my web & ftp server on this computer, but my girlfriend wants to use it, too Adv. Server would be exactly the perfect OS for this, all programs keep running while my g/f is logged on. so why the hell is there no login screen in ADS ???

Stonkwell Bogtrotter Posted August 7, 2001 Share Posted August 7, 2001 I had Advanced Server on my PC, and I can tell you the "welcome Screen" doesnot exist. Because advs is a "secure" o/s it uses the traditional ctrl-alt-del logon process. This is because it is more secure to use ctrl-alt-del. If you want the "Welcome Screen" use XP Home or Pro. I hope this helps you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdibias Posted August 7, 2001 Share Posted August 7, 2001 Hmmmm, well after you join a domain with XP-Pro you can only use the CTRL-ALT-DEL to login. XP Home edition does not come with the capabilities to join a domain, so the login screen is yours to choose. I personally like the CTRL-ALT-DEL, much more secure !
