Amir,

I did follow your suggestion, but I can't see any instruction such as "change the way users log on off" and also "Use Welcome Screen" as well.

There are two Tabs (Users and advanced) and there is no option as you indicated.  
Hi,
Do you have a group policy on the network? And, do you have an admin account? Only an admin account can make such changes.
Yes I do have an admin account..but what do you mean by group policy...? Infact there are 8 persons who have to log in to the system and all of them are Administrators.  When we on the PC it will ask to press <Ctrl> <Alt> <Del> to log on...

When you open the User Accounts in Control Panel, you should be able to see something like this : http://www.geocities.com/kasaneva/ee/usracc.JPG [link will be deleted in 3 days].

Hello Yaskalai,

Just a quick question...
Are these computers members of a domain or of a workgroup?
If you're on a domain, Fast user switching doesn't work.
