Cannot get welcome screen!

[Guest]

Hi everyone,

I am running XP-Pro. The OS is an upgrade from W2K. I have two users on the
computer (both administrators). Whenever the computer is started, Windows
insists on loging in directly to user 1.

I have set the log-in options under user accounts to use welcome screen and
nothing. I have turned the option on and off and nothing. I have changed the
type of account for both users and nothing.

I remember in W2K there was an option allowing the user to skip the log-in
screen. At that time I was the only user and I had selected that option. I'm
wondering if it is stuck in that "mode." The problem is, I can't find where
the option is! I have looked everywhere... Could it be that XP doesn't have
that option?

I want for the OS to bring up the XP welcome screen when the computer is
started. Right now, whenever user 2 wants to use the computer, he has to let
it log-in to user 1 and then log off and log into his space.

I appreciate any help...

Regards,

Jose

Autologon
[[This allows setting the username and password so that the system
automatically logs in at startup. The user need not select his user name and
type the password every time. To suppress autologon, hold the shift key when
the system is starting.]]
