Question XP Welcome Screen

hello. I was wondering if you could tell me how to make it so my XP pro boots to the welcome screen where it shows the users to click on. Currently i have two users, but it always just boots to the desktop, when i log off i get the option to switch users and then it shows the other user. I have been to the user account control panel and it looks as though i've got everything checked off that should be. Anyways, thanks for your help.

This sounds like a case of SP2 enabling the AutoAdminLogon. I wouldn't bother with the user accounts but check the values on the Admin String Values

There is a nice Powertoy: Tweak ui that you can download from microsoft site and will allow you to easily change those options.

Yeah and there is a link for PowerToys right at the latter part of the page I linked to:

To avoid the inherent danger of editing the registry, the same results may be obtained by using the procedure detailed below.

TweakUI is part of the Power Toys collection and can be downloaded here.
