    Windows XP Logon Box - Dropdown for Usernames?

    Hi,

    I am looking to move the family PC over to a domain hosted on a Windows 2003 box, so will need to get rid of the welcome screen. Is it possible to have the 4 usernames in a dropdown box to make it easier to log on, or will they have to type their username each time?

    Thanks

    Dont think you can have a drop down box, you might be able to keep the welcome screen with icons for each user. Im not sure though

    The only logon screen you can have when using a domain, is the standard windows nt logon box, typing your username. (with the ctrl+alt+del to logon)

    The welcome screen is not available in domains for obvious reasons, ie 7000 users in a domain? Could u image scrolling through 7000 users to find yours
