Old school Windows login screen
Is it possible to bring back the old school login screen from older Windows OS's? Here's a picture of what I'm talking about.

Hello Shoober,
Yes, it sure is. The tutorial below can help show you how to set Windows to require users to enter both a user name and password at log in. :)
Log On with User Name and Password
That's pretty cool, but I also want the traditional windows login screen look. Can you have the retro window like in the Windows 2000 picture? I know there's a way to use the traditional grey login window in Windows XP, to where it looks identical to the Windows 2000 picture, except it says Windows XP above the login text. Here's an example.

Thank you Dwarf, but that didn't change anything for me when I tried it.
EDIT:
I believe that policy is only for logging on to another computer in the workgroup instead, and not part of a domain.
I just enabled that "Always use classic logon" setting and it doesn't work for me either. I guess Windows XP was the last OS to have it.
