Guest Trevor Appleton Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 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

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". -- Terry R. ***Reply Note*** Anti-spam measures are included in my email address. Delete NOSPAM from the email address after clicking Reply.

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
