Alter the login to Windows XP Welcome

If you go through this setting, you can set the login screen to Windows XP welcome screen.

Tweak for : Windows XP

Description:

This setting enables you to specify if the classic Windows 2000/NT or the Windows XP welcome screen will be shown on login.

By default, Windows displays the Welcome screen. There you click on an icon and type the password.

The classic logon screen expects username and password for the login. If you disable this setting, you will work with the classic Windows 2000/NT login screen.

For this go to "Start->Run" and enter "regedit" and search the keys listed below. You can create one DWORD value "LogonType", if this value is not existing.

Now you can set this value to change the logon screen to the Windows XP welcome screen. After a restart or logoff the changes take effect.
