xanataus Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Hi, Does anyone know how to hide a user from the Welcome Sceen in Vista. It was possible in XP by performing the steps in this article. http://www.tweakxp.com/article36754.aspx Unfortunately, this does not seem to work for Vista. Any ideas ... ? Cheers Xan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flapjackman176 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 well.. you can try to go to user accounts and change the way users log on and off (assuming it has the same option as XP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pad Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 The classic logon dialog is gone. What will Vista Business use then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trek Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 What will Vista Business use then? the new welcome screen has domain authentication capabilities now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linkinfamous Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 the new welcome screen has domain authentication capabilities now Yeah, Faster User Switching + Domain is pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pad Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 the new welcome screen has domain authentication capabilities now What about in big businesses with hundreds of staff members? Or in a school with 1000s of pupils all with their own user areas? Will ctrl+alt+del not exist even for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardsim7 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 That's true, what will they use in my school?? :( -Rich- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tranceandy Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I haven't tried recently but I am sure CTRL+ALT+DELETE is available when you log on to a domain, otherwise click logon as a different user and then type in the username and password :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Natan Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Ugh, I hate all those Welcome Screens... Why did they take the good old logon box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthropolemic Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Yes, CTRL-ALT-DEL is available in the updated Welcome screen. Domain fast user switching is something the Mac could do before Windows, so it's nice to finally have that in there. I'm not sure how well the whole aurora/ribbon/translucent glass screen will play out in a business environment. I'll miss the oldschool logon prompt.

marc2003 Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 i prefer the classic logon for domains too. a couple of screenies for those who haven't seen it.... (yes my domain is named domain... :rolleyes: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrCheese Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 tho I know msgina has been removed, I wish there was a more "Corp" version of the login screen. With the previous one at work, I would customise the msgina and change the default backdrop. I feel this looks much nicer than the new vista login screen, which IMO looks a bit tacky...

DrCheese Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 yup pretty much.... I really dislike the default background because it doesn't look serious at all for a Business, nor sets you in the mood for work. Also I'm unlikely to want to use the userpicture thing either. I'm aware I can set a default one in group policy on longhorn server and I assume we can link pictures to people's accounts so it shows them, but this is completely useless in my place of work(Secondary School) Also fast user support is again useless for Business machines. Sure its nice to be able to use a machine without booting someone off, but the last thing we need is for a machine to have tons of unused sessions on it, hogging resources(Yes again I guess its a group policy setting) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
