How do I get The WelcomE Screen back on my computer??

Question

I accidently deleted that Welcome Page on my home computer, now, instead the Box pops up where you actually have to type in each user's name to log onto each account. I want the simpler Welcome Screen back.

Something to do with "Client services for Netware". Im stumped -- tried everything in there/

Pleeeez....thanks!

Answer 1

To turn the Welcome screen on or off:

You must have a computer administrator account to turn the

Use the Welcome screen feature on or off.

Open User Accounts in Control Panel.

Click Change the way users log on or off.

Do one of the following:

To specify that users log on to the computer using the Welcome screen, select the Use the Welcome screen check box.

A user logs on to the computer by clicking his or her user account name on the Welcome screen. If a password is assigned to the account, the user is prompted to type it.

To specify that users log on to the computer without using the Welcome screen, clear the Use the Welcome screen check box.

The Welcome screen will no longer appear when you start the computer. To log on to the computer, type your user name (and password, if you have one) in the standard Log On to Windows dialog box.

To open User Accounts, click Start, click Control Panel, and then click User Accounts.

Fast User Switching is available only when the option to log on using the Welcome screen is turned on.

As a best practice, a password should be assigned to each user account. For a more secure logon, turn off the Welcome screen and use the classic logon prompt that requires users to type a user account name, rather than select an account name from a list.

To turn Fast User Switching on or off:

You must have a computer administrator account to turn on or off the Use Fast User Switching feature.

Open User Accounts in Control Panel.

Under Pick a task, click Change the way users log on or off.

Do one of the following:

To specify that a user's programs remain running when another user logs on to the computer, select the Use Fast

User Switching check box.

If you select this option, programs do not shut down when another user logs on to the computer. For example, if you are typing a report and your child wants to check e-mail, you can log off using Switch User, the child can log on, check e-mail, and then log off. You can log on and return to your report without losing your place.

To specify that programs shut down when users log off the computer, clear the Use Fast User Switching check box.

If you select this option, programs automatically shut down when users log off the computer, and the computer will run faster for the next user who logs on.

Important -

When Fast User Switching is turned on, Serial Keys will not work. Serial Keys is an accessibility feature that provides support so that alternative input devices (such as single switch or puff and sip devices) can be used in place of the computer's standard keyboard or mouse.

Notes -

To open User Accounts, click Start, click Control Panel, and then click User Accounts.

Fast User Switching cannot be turned off while multiple users are logged on to the computer.
