Selecting a user in win 7 welcome screen using only keyboard

[Falinn]

Hi all,

Does anybody know how can i choose a user in the win 7 welcome screen using only the keyboard (without using the mouse)?

I'm hoping there is some sort of key combination that may be used to choose the user so that i won't have to use the mouse in order to login.

I would prefer not having to change the standard welcome screen to the domain login screen in which i believe it is possible.

I'm using Win 7 professional.

Thanks,
Falinn

you can just use the arrow keys - you should see a bit of a glassy border around the selected user.

then hit the space bar or 'enter' key to login.

I've tried that but it does not work for me.
If i'm at the welcome screen and i press one of the arrow buttons and enter or space nothing happens.

Are you sure that it works that way? Do i need to change settings so it will be enabled?
Any other ideas for keys i should try?

You might try the Tab Key

the arrow keys work for me on both computers i've tried it on - i don't know why not for you.

i didn't need to change any settings to get it to work. sorry, don't know what else to suggest.
