| Re: vista logon The classic logon is not available in Vista. You can force a Ctrl-Alt-Del to logon but you won't get the classic logon. -- Kerry Brown Microsoft MVP - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca "TH" <tom.holden2@btinternet.com> wrote in message news:B5113B82-4FAF-45BD-8D83-0C78987E6585@microsoft.com...

you can change the... HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies\System\DontDisplayLastUserName ....value from the default zero (0) to one (1). When you logoff and back on you will be presented with a login screen that asks for the User ID and Password, ie. not the default Vista Welcome screen with all users listed. Will that work for you? Note you do not need to reboot for the change to take effect. You should also run regedit as an administrator. With Vista Ultimate, Enterprise or Business editions you can do the same thing using the group policy editor. -- Al Jarvi (MS-MVP Windows Networking) Please post *ALL* questions and replies to the news group for the mutual benefit of all of us...

| Re: vista logon That really sucks for me, actually, because Vista won't let any of my user accounts enter an admin password during UAC prompt (tech service says it's a corrupt account). The only way I can perceive fixing this is to reset myself as an admin, but because UAC won't let me enter a password (I'm thinking a very serious bug), I have to login as an admin. But if Vista prevents a hard login as admin, how do I perform any admin activity in this scenario?!?!?!?! | Guest

| Re: vista logon Vista doesn't prevent you logging in as an admin. The "administrator" account is disabled by default but any number of other administrator accounts can exist. If somehow all of the other administrator accounts have been corrupted then boot into safe mode and the "administrator" account should be available. It is supposed to enable itself if no other administrator accounts exist. -- Kerry Brown Microsoft MVP - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca "Keith Patrick" <richard_keith_patrick@nospam.hotmail.com> wrote in message news:AFFB85FC-D475-49ED-AD36-F5C8116BDBEB@microsoft.com...

| Re: vista logon Awesome, thanks! I thought for sure with Vista Ultimate it would've been able to easy turn on the classic login screen again. They should've had something like "basic welcome screen" and "advanced/classic login screen"! But in Vista Ultimate (and I'm not on a domain at home), I enabled this option with the Local Security Policy editor, start/secpol.msc, local policies/security options/Interactive Login: Do not display last user name. A nice bonus is I don't see any cheesy pictures on the new login screen! It's just a blank box above the username & password boxes. You'd think Microsoft would've jumped at the opportunity to put their logo into that box. -Thomas H "Sooner Al [MVP]" <SoonerAl@somewhere.net.invalid> wrote in message news:7C178EF6-0DDD-4DF3-BB9E-FA355101BB66@microsoft.com...

| Re: vista logon My problem is: I logon as owner and the screen goes black with the cursor arrow the only thing showing. I use the ctrl,alt, del, and get a screen with various options to logoff, change user, task manager. I log of and get a message other users are using and may loose their work. What can I do?

| Re: vista logon That's it! How does one get "the default Vista Welsome screen with all users listed" back. Here is our situation... We have a single Vista machine, with multiple users accounts, in a domain. Currently, at machine startup, the user is presented with Ctrl-Alt-Del, which then takes the user to the classic logon (username/password). Due to the domain configuration, each user has to type in "domain"\username and password to log into there personalized desktop. Is there a way to change the logon screen (@ computer startup) to show icons for each user account, which would enable the user to simply click her/his name, leading to the entering of that user's password?
