By adding and validating a Key in Registry, we have been able to change
the Welcome Screen during Start-up so that it halts there, and allows
one to enter a User Name. I seem to recall from years ago, with XP/Pro,
that the option for an Administrator account there, but I've been unable
to do so with XP/Home. Is it that it cannot be done, or that I'm not
doing it right? We are aware of F8 and Safe Mode, but that leads in an
entirely different direction.
