Windows XP - Enable Classic Logon Screen

Today encountered a user where she have created a new user account for her computer and it ended up that her own "Administrator" account cannot be selected at the logon screen.

1. A workaround is to restart the computer in "Safe Mode" by pressing "F8" key repeatedly after the POST screen to invoke the "Safe Mode Menu".

2. Now just select "Safe Mode" option and let it boot.

3. At the desktop it will prompt you a message... just click "Yes" button to continue.

4. Go to START --> Control Panel --> User Accounts.

5. Select "Change the way users log on or off" option.

6. Un-check both the option "Use the Welcome screen" checkbox and "Fast User Switching" checkbox option.

7. Next is of course to apply the changes and then restart the computer and let it boot normally.

8. Now the classic logon screen should be displayed, you have to manually type-in the "Administrator" username and password (if any) to continue logon back to your account.
