Vista User Logon Issues

[Bryan]

Is there a way to have Vista configured for workgroup mode, hide a user created admin account from the welcome screen and still be able to login with either the user created admin account or the builtin admin account?

Thanks,

Bg

Hi There, well I tried a few things to my knowlege. You could enable
ctrl+alt+del to log in to which ever account (mind you no accounts are
visible on the welcome screen) You have to press ctrl+alt+del. Go to Start,
in the "Start Search" box at the bottom of the menu, type "netplwiz" (no
quotes), click "Advanced" tab and check off the ctrl+alt+del box. If you need
the account(s) totally hiden from other users,then you need to edit local
policy: in the run box, type, "secpol.msc" (no quotes), left hand side, Local
Policies>Security Options, scroll down to "Iteractive logon: Don't display
last user name" double click and "Enable". All accounts will be hidden unless
you know the info (including yours), but its no as pretty LOL. Another way
(netplwiz) is to un check "Users must enter a user name and password to use
this computer", enter you default account info (which ever is the account you
want used), then go to the "Advanced" tab again and enable "Require user to
press ctrl+alt+del" ok out of everything. This method will boot straight to
the default account (no welcome screen), then if you need to go to another
account you either "log off" or "switch users" this will bring you to the
ctrl+alt+del welcome screen. Have fun!

We would like the see the welcome screen, with icons for each user, at start
up, but we're not sure how to make that work. We have a single Vista machine,
with multiple users accounts, in a domain. Currently, at machine startup, the
user is presented with Ctrl-Alt-Del, which then takes the user to the classic
logon (username/password). Due to the domain configuration, each user has to
type in "domain"\username and password to log into there personalized
desktop. Is there a way to change the logon screen (@ computer startup) to
show icons for each user account, which would enable the user to simply click
her/his name, leading to the entering of that user's password?
