Password creation

I tried to switch my pc login screen from classic logon
to welcome screen which is faster and easier, but a
message say that i have installed netware client service
and i have to uninstall that before I can change the
setting.

Any ideas??

Thanks for everyone's help

Hi John,

Check this Microsoft knowledge base article.

Error Message When You Try to Turn On Welcome Screen or Fast User Switching
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;315347&Product=winxp

Welcome Screen is quite sensitive to quite a few things. Netware is just one
of them. You also won't be able to turn on Welcome screen if you enable
Offline Files and/or add your computer to domain.

I hope this helps,

Mike

That reminds me. Does the Home Ed of XP allow you to get rid of the Welcome
screen and go with a tradional "Ctrl-Alt-Del" prompt that you can't bypass
or is XP Home stuck being so "Win98-ish".

I know a home user with a single machine that needs to *thourghly* control
who can sit down in front of the machine and use it, but I don't know if
they will swing the extra $$$ for XP Pro.

Sorry to appear "stupid", but I have had almost no exposure to the "Home Ed"
and have only worked with the "Pro Ed". What differences I have found out
about with XP Home,...not a single one of them is "good" IMO.

Hi Phillip,

According to this article it is possible. I will try this a bit later...
