Jools Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 I recently installed the .net Framework software as its needed for a couple of programs I use, and its activated the Classic Logon box for when I boot up Windows (XP Pro). I can switch back to the Welcome screen instead, but before I installed the .net Framework software, I could just switch my computer on and it would load up completely, right to the desktop. How do I revert back to that setting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ans Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Install TweakUI from Microsoft which allows you to auto enter passwords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 If you go to user accounts... advanced settings... remove the 'control alt delete' log on selection what happens then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jools Posted June 20, 2005 Author Share Posted June 20, 2005 When I was googling for some info on this yesterday a couple of websites said to click the Advanced button in User Accounts.. I dont appear to have an Advanced button? I've attached a screenshot of my User Accounts page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Observer Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 That looks like an XP Home screenshot rather than an XP Pro no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyconcrete Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 start - run - gpedit.msc Then navigate to Computer configuration\administrative templates\system\logon Check the values in there (specifically always use classic logon). The autologon is a registry hack which can be activated by using TweakUI or suchlike. (as ans said) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uni Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Another good one is "control userpasswords2", this will bring up the alternate user settings box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jools Posted June 21, 2005 Author Share Posted June 21, 2005 Thanks, I've now got it back to booting up to the desktop. Still would be nice to know if it could be changed back completely though, to how it was originally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
