Hey guys for some random reason, when I do Windows + L instead of switching user and going to the Welcome Screen, my XP Home locks the computer… with the standard message “The computer is in use and is locked, administrator must unlock” blabla, this creates a problem. I can’t login to the other accounts! 😛

Anyone know how to get my welcome screen back? I miss it :crying:
