Need welcome screen to switch user accounts

[Carla]

My daughter was messing with the computer and now we have to click log off or switch user and the password screen comes up. I want to change it back to the welcome screen to be able to choose the icon instead of logging off and tying name. Can anyone hel
p?

I have both of the boxes checked in the user account screen and still am not getting the welcome screen with pics

Hi Carla,

There are atleast five causes why the Welcome Screen does not appear:

* Welcome Screen and Fast User Switching are disabled in Control Panel > =
User Accounts [Does not apply in your case]
* Terminal Service / Fast User Switching Services are disabled.
* Welcome Screen has been modified by a custom GINA DLL
* Your computer is configured to work in a Domain.
* Policies are configured. [Set to use Classic Logon]

Solution for Case 2: Make sure Terminal Services / Fast user Switching =
Services are enabled and running.

Solution for Case 3: Use MVP Doug Knox's utility to fix the Welcome =
screen.
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts_desc/fix_xp_logon.htm: [Fix =
Logon/Restore Welcome Screen]. This should reset the default GINA in =
registry.

Solution for Case 4: Click Start/Run/type "sysdm.cpl". Computer Name > =
Change > Set it to "Workgroup"

Hi Margaret,

Of course you can have admin accounts. An admin should not have any
limitations on the local machine, however that user may not have been given
the appropriate permissions to that program folder.
