http://www.theeldergeek.com/welcome_screen_logon_versus_classic_logon.htm   suggests a small regisry edit: start, run, type regedit, click OK.   In the registry editor window, use the + in the left pane to expand the tree (similar to windows explorer) to navigate to   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon   Click on the Winlogon key to display its contents in the right pane.   Look for the value called LogonType. Right click on it, click modify, change the data to 1 , click OK.   Close registry editor, restart your PC.

i typed 'regedit' on RUN but it didnt work. it says 'windows cannot find 'regedit' please make sure you typed the name correctly and try again.' i think my RUN program doesnt work aswell. is there any other way of fixing this problem?

I assume you have tried:  Right click on blank spot on desktop--Click Properties--Click appearance--See if Windows Classic Style is reflected under Windows and Buttons.  If so, change to XP Style.

try using run...control userpasswords2 uncheck box 'users must enter a user name....' for each user name and ASPNET. might work.
