GolfProRM Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Just had an idea for a new, lighthearted poll... will be interesting to see if people take advantage of the Welcome Screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachy Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 I have a single user (excluding the Administrator account) and set it to log in automatically. The other computer uses the old Windows 2000 Domain login screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scot Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 I use the Welcome screen as is, but like Peachy, I've set it to login automatically (on this computer, using Tweak UI although there are other ways). On other computers, I've set it up in various ways just so I have as many different experiences as possible. On some computers I have to enter a password. Bottom line: My default way to login is the XP Welcome screen, which I actually like somewhat. Surprisingly.-- Scot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfProRM Posted April 22, 2003 Author Share Posted April 22, 2003 I use the welcome screen as I use the Fast User Switching option quite frequently. I did use StyleXP to change it to a more interesting style though I'll post a link to my welcome screen here...

Stryder Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Every machine in my house you have to put in name and password but 1. I have too many friends/family/kids coming and going in my house.....I learned the hard way to restrict access to my PC's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paracelsus Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Don't usually spent much time at the Welcome Screen, so hadn't given much thought to what it looks like. Think I'll check out StyleXP, though.Thanks for link, Ryan. I'll post a link to it here... (warning: it's 100K)100K?? Are you warning people that the download will be over before it starts??

GolfProRM Posted April 22, 2003 Author Share Posted April 22, 2003 For those of you who haven't used/don't know about StyleXP, you can go to StyleXP webpage.I've also found a good site to download themes/Welcome screens ThemeXP. I'll post a link to it here... (warning: it's 100K)100K?? Are you warning people that the download will be over before it starts?? I hear ya... but not everyone has broadband... it's a simple 1 second download for me, but could be a 2-3 minute download for others...

Jeber Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 Desktop - classic W2K login for me and my room mate, who uses it for schoolwork frequently.Laptop - Bios password (must enter pw before booting even begins), Ctrl-alt-dlt to use different password at sign in for Windows. Extra security since my laptop travels with me so often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ThunderRiver Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 Blue Welcome screen is good enough for me... I actually made one login screen for myself before, but then again, I care more about theme than welcome screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
