If your system is not using the Welcome screen and you
want it to, follow these steps:
While logged on as an administrator, open User Accounts in
Control Panel.
Click the Change The Way Users Log On Or Off link.
If a warning message about offline files appears, simply
click Cancel. As the message points out, offline files and
Fast User Switching are incompatible, but you don't need
to disable offline files to enable only the Welcome
screen.
Select Use The Welcome Screen and then click Apply Options.
Hope this helps!
