@ the welcome screen (only 1 user account on the computer running windows xp home) @ the bottom left of the welcome screen i should have "TURN OFF " but its not there anymore. i dont remember when this started.

i have been searching on the net for a reg hack or something but cant find one.

You may try to download and install the Treak UI program from Microsoft, also called Power toys (or something like that). It allows you to set a number of indicators, such as having the XP version on the lower right of your screen.

Caution, Do not uncheck the indicator that displays your logon name because if you do, it will not show the name and you cannot logon. You will have to restart in safe mode to reset the indicator.

Here is the site address:

Hope this helps.
