Hi -
I'm not a computer wizard and I did something screwy, not that I know what it was. So if you can answer me, 1st of all thank you, and second of all you have to speak to me like I'm a child with this computer stuff. The problem is that I wanted to get rid of my Welcome screen with the big picture and my whole name splashed a cross it. Man, I wish I had it back. Now I get an instant log on error once windows loads which has a Yellow Yield sign and says that I can't log on and I should check if I have the right domain and User Name, then I can type in the password. It needs to be in proper case ya da yada. Fortunately, Since this a 5 year old Sony Vaio desktop running WinXP Pro I have forgotten if there ever even was a password; however, I'm the only one who uses it so I guess I'm the Adminstrator. Anyway, I type in my full name with caps and hit enter and I'm allowed in. Besides the fact that no one wants to wake to an error beep, when I want to use task manager this partial screen comes up and asks me if I want to do all kinds of things. I just want to hit CTRL+ALT+DEL and get my old task manager back. We go throught the same process when I want to sign off. Not the task manager but another multiple choice screen.
Any advice is greatly appreciate. I know these are small things, but they are really annoying.
