Hello...In my Local Area Connections properties, I clicked on Client for Microsoft Networks and installed Client Service for Netware. (don't ask me why)

I had to restart my computer and before it loaded windows, I got a logon screen I had never see before, so I clicked OK. I went and uninstalled the Client Service for Netware and now whenever I turn my computer on, I still get that logon screen. Does anyone know how to turn it off???

Thanks

P.S I am running Win XP Pro

Thankyou for your reply, however it is not the welcome screen that comes up. It is a logon screen that looks something like this:

10-4 gotcha now.

1. Click Start ----> Run ------> type regedit, and then click OK.

2. Locate the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

3. Using your account name and password, double-click the DefaultUserName entry, type your user name, and then click OK.

4. Double-click the DefaultPassword entry, type your password under the value data box, and then click OK.

If there is no DefaultPassword value, create the value. To do this, follow these steps:

a. In Registry Editor, click Edit, click New, and then click String Value.
b. Type DefaultPassword as the value name, and then press ENTER.
c. Double-click the newly created key, and then type your password in the Value Data box.

If no DefaultPassword string is specified, Windows XP automatically changes the value of the AutoAdminLogon registry key from 1 (true) to 0 (false) to turn off the AutoAdminLogon feature.

5. Double-click the AutoAdminLogon entry, type 1 in the Value Data box, and then click OK.

If there is no AutoAdminLogon entry, create the entry. To do this, follow these steps:

a. In Registry Editor, click Edit, click New, and then click String Value.
b. Type AutoAdminLogon as the value name, and then press ENTER.
c. Double-click the newly created key, and then type 1 in the Value Data box.

6. Quit Registry Editor.

7. Click Start, click Restart, and then click OK.
