That worked out well.

One last question until Im too dumb to fix the next problem. When did XP home addition go back to the windows 2000 type log in screen? YOu know the one when you hit control alt delete it gives you the options of task manager and all that? Or is something wrong there too? When it logs on the box pops up for me to log in or shut down and all that just like the office version of XP or windows 2000.

I've had that happen on a few XP installs and not on others...although I thought I did them all the same...so...


It must be a setting somewhere or an idiosyncrasy with some machines that makes that happen. Somehow I get the old-fashioned log in and then again, sometimes I don't but it appears to be on a machine by machine set of circumstances.

Come to think of it, that problem usually was on Compaqs a lot...but I mean really old Compaqs with wind-up PSUs.

554689 2007-06-02 00:54:00 In all my XP installs I have had the normal login screen... but as soon as I setup a server with a Domain Controller and set the Network ID Member to the domain I get the ctl + alt +del login box and even if I change it back to a workgroup it is still the ctl + alt + del login box...

But to change it back to the welcome screen:

Log in with administrator access.
Click on Start, Control Panel, and select user accounts.
Click on Change the Way Users Log On or Off.
Click on the Box "Use the Welcome Screen" so that there is a check mark.
Done!
