Logoff screen

[Jeremy]

Start, Control Panel, User Accounts, Change the ways users
log on and off, Check use the welcome screen. This will
change the Welcome screen and subsequently the logoff screen.

One thing to note, I only get this option when my computer
is a member of a workgroup as opposed to a domain. I'm not
sure if specifically my company's group policy disables the
ability to have a welcome screen or if it is built in to
Windows that a domain connected computer must use the
classic logon/logoff. So if your laptop is a work computer
bound to a domain you may be stuck with the classic logoff.
If you are bound to a domain please consult your network
administrator before unbinding yourself.
