vista logon screen - switch user Rockstar <rockstar[ at ]playnet.net> 11/13/2008 8:31:17 AM Can this crap be turned off ? I want the Windows XP logon screen, or as like as I can get. Can this be done via group policy ?

Here's what I did, don't know how the domain environment affects it: Force as close to the the "classic" logon as Vista can get: Start -> Control Panel -> System and Maintenance -> Administrative Tools -> Local Security Policy ->Local Policy -> Security Options ->"Interactive logon: Do not display last user name" = Enabled, "Interactive logon: Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL" = Disabled Start -> gpedit.msc -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Logon -> Hide entry points for Fast User Switching = Enabled, always use classic logon = enabled Not sure if it is all needed or not, but it worked for me. Good luck! -- Zaphod Arthur: All my life I've had this strange feeling that there's something big and sinister going on in the world. Slartibartfast: No, that's perfectly normal paranoia.

Re: vista logon screen - switch user Rockstar <rockstar[ at ]playnet.net> 11/13/2008 1:22:09 PM I think the "Hide entry points for Fast User Switching = Enabled" can only be set on machines which are not part of a domain. ie: not available in domain environment.

Could be, the machines I'm working with are off-domain. As I said, it might not actually be necessary to set all of those to get the desired result. Try it without that setting and see. -- Zaphod No matter where you go, there you are!
