User accounts not showing

[Guest Trevor Appleton]

After not using this PC for 2 months (it has 3 user account set up) when I

boot up I get one log in dialogue screen (though I don't think its the

normal windows one) with default for the username and a space for a password

and nothing else on the screen. I can get in using the administrator

password, but I would like to be able to see the three user accounts again

You need Tweak UI XP to change this.

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx

Download & install. Run it from Start Menu

In LH column select Logon & on the RH side select accounts to be displayed

in Welcome Screen.

Regards Mike.

Hi Trevor,

 

Try this:

 

1. Start, Run, type control userpasswords2 and press Enter

2. Click the Advanced tab and uncheck "Require users to press

Ctrl+Alt+Delete"

Log off (maybe a reboot is needed). The Welcome screen should appear.

 

If not, log in as Administrator again and in Control Panel open User

Accounts. Click "Change the way users log on and off". Check "Use the

Welcome screen".

Require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete" was already unchecked, but the

other option has worked - many thanks to both of you - a great help

Have downloaded and installed a few of these, but where do they go? Nothing

shows in the start menu.

All Programs, "Powertoys for Windows XP" is usually where it goes.

Go back to where you selected the Welcome Screen option in User

Accounts. There is another option for Fast User Switching. There are

conditions to allowing FUS to work. Read about it here:
