Vista logon screen to login to dial up

Greg Shultz shows you how to tweak Vista's Logon screen. While testing some options that affect the start up and shut down speed on a Microsoft Windows Vista system recently, I spent a lot of time staring at the Logon screen. During that time, I began to wonder about the possibility of making some changes to that screen. For example, I wondered if I could change the Logon screen wallpaper. I wondered about removing the shutdown button from the Logon screen.

I also wondered if I could add a legal notice to Vista's Logon screen. While pursuing these quests, I also discovered that I could display logon statistics on the Logon screen. Most of these Logon screen configuration screen changes could easily be made with a few registry tweaks.

Changing the Logon screen wallpaper, however, requires a separate but free program. Before you begin editing, keep in mind that the Windows Registry is vital to the operating system.

Before editing the Windows Registry , you should take a few moments to back it up for safekeeping. When you do, you'll encounter a UAC and will need to respond accordingly. Now, if I could only figure out a way to remove the Ease of Access button from the Logon screen. Search related threads. Remove From My Forums. Answered by:. Archived Forums.

Thursday, July 27, PM. Wednesday, August 9, AM. Have you gotten an answer to this? I have the same issue. I have been posing in the microsoft. I'm going to start cross-posting next week. I wonder if this has been eliminated and MS just doesn't want to own up to it. I'm a telecommuter, and this is a very important piece of functionality for me.

I'd be grateful for any information you have received. Friday, August 4, PM. Wednesday, September 20, PM. Still no answer to this?

I am using the released version of Vista Enterprise, and still don't see it. Friday, February 16, PM. My problem was that I had to set up a new computer with Vitsa, joining it to a domain and logging on a domain user Log on using the local account. Change your computer from a Workgroup to a Domain if needed and restart the computer. When the computer starts back up log on using the local account again.

While logged in to this account create your VPN or Dialup connection. From the start menu select "Switch User" Log on using the domain username and password. Change the value to 1 and click OK. Type in control userpasswords2. This will open up user accounts. Make sure that "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" is checked. Go into the advanced tab. Apply and OK these settings. Log off and you will notice these changes right away! By gamerguy13 Follow.
