Hello there,

For that you'll need to diable the welcome screen, to do so
go to the "Control Panel" and
open "User Accounts" then
click on "Change the way users log on and off" and
untick "Use the welcome screen".
That's about it.

As for your other question, the only way I know of in XP requires editing the registery. So I'll hold on and see if anyone else will post a more straight forward solution. If not I'll give you the one I know.

Good luck

Ciao for now.

4. on the lefthand side go to network.
5. Click the box which says require users to press ctrl+alt+delete.
6. close program and apply the restrictions.
7. log off and it's done.

2. on the lefthand side go to legal notice.
3. Click the box saying promt shown on login box.
4. below the box on the right hand side click change.
