Haven't seen this one.
My wife brought home a laptop from her work for me to check out. They had it
set up for the laptop to boot up to that "welcome screen". They had one logon
option on that page - "owner". Now, that logon option is gone when the laptop
boots to that screen.
You can hit ctrl + alt + del to bring up the logon box, but they don't know
what either the "owner" pwd is, or what the "admin" pwd is (we've tried
blank, what they're sure is their owner pwd, and a bunch of other combos).
- could someone have gone in and deleted the "owner" log on that used to
appear on the welcome screeen, so that then there are no options?
- Is having the logon option(s) disappear from the welcome screen a known
issue w/ XP Home Edition? And, if so, is there a workaround for it?
Any other ideas, like a virus maybe?
