Welcome Screen in XP Pro

[Guest]

Is it possible to have the regular XP Home Logon window with the list of
users in an XP Pro machine that belongs to a domain? If so, how do I do it?

Also, in one of the machines, if I go to Control Panel-->User Accounts,
Advanced Tab, the check box for "Require Users to press Ctrl-Alt-Delete" is
grayed out; how come? I am logged on as an Administrator.

Thanks,
Eduardo

No.

No, you cannot use the Welcome Screen on a machine that is joined to a
domain.

Also, in one of the machines, if I go to Control Panel-->User
Accounts, Advanced Tab, the check box for "Require Users to press
Ctrl-Alt-Delete" is

Ask your IT Dept. There is probably a domain Group Policy restriction in
effect.

Thanks Carey, that's what I thought.

Thanks for the reply Malke. I run a "one-man-show" here. I am the "IT
Dept." as well as all the other business role as well. I'll read a little
bit more to see if I find anything.

You might want to post the second part of your question in the Group
Policy newsgroup:
microsoft.public.windows.group_policy

They might be able to point you directly to where to look and that would
save some time.
