Windows Login Screen

Takkun · 03-15-2008, 07:17 PM

I don't know what I did, but I turned on the windows login screen.
The one where you can choose which account to go under.
I only have one account on this computer and I don't need the login screen.

It's not the typical login screen I remember. This one is just a popup box that has username and password and the background is completely black. I know the normal one has a blue background.

How can I stop this from appearing and make it so my computer boots up to my desktop?

if you have xp 'tweak xp' should do the trick, its got an auto logon.

Otherwise u might have to do a regedit.

Try: Start->Control Pannel->User Accounts Click on Change the way users log on or off. Uncheck the first one which is Use the Welcome Screen.

Hope this helps

If you want to change to bule background (OS is XP?), you may download a tool, such as 'Style XP', or you can edit the 'logonui.exe'.
