start up user account selection

Rmesser · 11-12-2006, 06:04 PM

this happened to me a long time ago and i forgot to ask this so i might not be specific enough.

a long time ago my windows update came up with updates. i didnt know wut they were because i was stupid with computers back then so i picked one of them, downloaded it and then installed it. later i relized it changed the screen that comes up when u turn on your computer where you choose and CLICK wich user login u want. now i have the old style that u have to type in the name and the password. this sucks and its starting to annoy me.

Has this happened to anyone before? Can anyone help me

thanks

Can you show me a screen shot to ur user Account and are you on the admin user?I never saw it disappear

youngmuslm · 11-15-2006, 01:32 PM

I got from him the Screen Shot he use in the Control panel category mode So when he clicked on User account he didnt get change the way users log on because he wasnt Inside User account he was inside its category So I told him to double click on User Account
now when he press "change the way users log on" he got a Message which I told him where to find the Solution
