I have NO IDEA what you are saying - but I will guess.

Windows XP offers two methods at logging into the system.

- The 'Classic" logon - where you enter your username and password in
appropriate blanks (you actually have to type in your username and
password - although the username can be remembered and already filled in.)
- The "Welcome Screen" logon - where you see a list of users and choose one
and *may* have to type in a password for a user in order to logon as that
user.

On top of that - you can "automatically" logon - not having to enter
anything tro do so upon a reboot of the machine.

And in addition - dependent on your screensaver settings - the screen may
'lock' causing you to have to enter a username/password to unlock the
computer to continue using it after a period of idle time (determined -
again - by your screensaver settings.)

Now - what is it you are referring to - having these explained to you in
this way?

My issue is trying to restore the "Welcome Screen option". I intall a new
WIFI Software from Linksys and it changes the "welcome screen" to "classic
logon".

Even during Shut Down the Shut Down Screen with Icon option have been
modified to "classic shutdown"

Thanks

Good description!

If your new software will allow it...

To configure Windows XP to use the welcome screen:

1.Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2.Double-click User Accounts.
3.Click Change the way users log on or off.
4.Check the Use the Welcome screen check box.

OK your way out or close the windows if there is no OK.
