The related machine is:

- WinXP Pro SP2
- Only one user

Behavior I want is:

The screensaver password screen to be the "Welcome Screen" and not the
"classic logon" box.

Yes, "Use the Welcome Screen / Use Fast User Switching" are both enabled.

Is there a way to force the "Welcome Screen" to be used on screensaver
resume through the registry -- with only one user?
(Creating a dummy user account just to get a "Welcome Screen" off the
screensaver isn't a solution. Its a kludge.)

Nevermind. I got it going... There actually was another account
(ASP.NET), but at some point I had hidden it from being visible with
TweakUI. It didn't need to be "hidden" with TweakUI in the first place
because it doesn't show up in the Welcome Screen, anyway.

"Unhiding" the ASP.NET account brought back the behavior I want: A Welcome
Screen on password resume with only one visible user.
