XP Home logins on XPPro

Is there any way to get the login screen for XP Pro to work like the
login screen for XP Home? I have both. XP Home edition provides a
screen with an icon for each user account. To login the user clicks
his account icon and then enters his password.
XP Pro has a login that is more like W2K or NT. You have to enter your
username and password to login. I have some very infrequent users and
I think the XP Home interface is friendlier and there will be less
chance that a user will forget his username if he gets the Home type
screen. TIA

Open XP's "Help and Support" and type: LOGON , and hit enter.
Next, click on the task titled: "Turn the Welcome screen on or off".

Just go to Control Panel and then click Users. From there choose "Change
the way users log it".
