Ohh, you WANT it to go to the logon screen...ok easy fix.

Start -> Control Pannel -> Display -> Screen Saver

Then PUT A CHECK beside: On resume, display welcome screen.

[iMartin]

Well maybe if you could explain your problem a little more clearly, we could help you. And yes, I'm on Windows XP PROFESSIONAL...not that Home version crap...

Until you can explain a little better, I have no clue. <_<

You could try spicing things up and bit and just change your logon screen (like I have).

i had changed it wit Style Xp but i wanted my old logon screen and so i uninstalled style xp and deleted everything in the style xp folder and i think i might have deleted the logon screen


so is there a way i can get it back

[iMartin]

:frusty: Well...you could try downloading StyleXP agian and go to the Logon page and might try clicking "Before StyleXP..." but I don&#39;t know if it will work since you&#39;ve uninstalled it. :unsure:

Well, you left that part out in your first post.

The file that controls logon is called logonui.exe. Style xp should have backed it up but I&#39;m not sure where, I don&#39;t use it.

Look in C:&#092;WINDOWS&#092;system32 for logonui.exe, maybe there is a backup there that has been renamed something like logonui.bac

Run a search for logonui and see if you find another copy. I see one at C:&#092;windows&#092;servicepackfiles&#092;i386. You might be able to copy that one and paste in C:&#092;WINDOWS&#092;system32. Don&#39;t delete the current one, rename it to logonui.old in case it doesn&#39;t work out, you can change it back. You must boot into safemode first to do this.

It&#39;s possible that style xp did not change the logon at all, but instead changed a value in the registry to point to a different .exe to run.

You can check at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE&#092;SOFTWARE&#092;Microsoft&#092;Windows NT&#092;Current Version&#092;Winlogon
Look for the string "UI Host" the value should be: logonui.exe

Consider running a google search for logonui, a lot of information will come up.
