   Can't Get Rid of Welcome Screen   
   07 Apr 07 01:34:07   
   
   From: spburrows@cox.net   
      
   I am running Windows XP Professional, SP2, with all the current updates   
   installed.  I do not want the welcome screen, as I am the only user on my   
   computer.  However, I do not want to auto logon and bypass typing in the   
   account and username.   
      
   I know about the Users applet in control panel and the check boxes for   
   "changing the way users logon or off". When I uncheck the options for "Fast   
   User Switching" and "Use the Welcome Screen" and click the apply button.   
   When I log off my account and restart, I still have the welcome screen.  If   
   I uncheck the Welcome screen option and hit apply, and reopen the dialog to   
   change the user login, the box is checked.  It seems that nothing that I do   
   can get me back to the "classic" windows xp login.   
      
   Does anyone have any suggestions (including registry edits) for how to fix   
   this?
