Default Logging On


-----Original Message-----
I have three users on my computer (running XP Pro): to
limited and the original administrator account. When I
turn on the computer, I do not get the welcome screen to
select which user to log on. Instead, the original
administrator user account is automatically logged on.

I
only want to use this account when it is absolutely
necessary. I have checked the MS Windows XP Support
Centre and can only find information on this problem
stemming from the installation of a program called "PC
Anywhere" which I have not used.

How do I make the welcome screen show up first when I
boot up?
.
Go to Control Panel - User Accounts and select 'change

the way users log on or off' de-select the 'use the
Welcome Screen' and that will give you the classic
windows logon screen. Hope this helps.
