I have Win XP Home in Swedish on my PC.
When I start it up it shows the Welcome screen there you can click on your
name.

But one day the 'Norton Anti-Virus' program found a 'virus' and renamed it.

But the file wasn´t a virus, it was a system file, and now the 'Welcome
screen is gone. And so is the 'change user' function too (it locks the
computer instead).

My kids is mad cause they don´t remember the usernames.
And I is not the happiest in the world.
 
Temporary quick fix:
Users can still display the welcome screen by selecting it on the Start menu
or by typing "Welcome" in the Run dialog box.

Welcome Screen User Pictures

Default Pictures are stored here:

Windows Explorer\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application

Check the following: Control panel>User accounts>Change way users log on and
off>Select "Use the welcome screen".
