remove welcome screen

[monstermakoy]

can we remove the welcome screen of windows 7 like xp??????how?

What screen are you referring to, the log on screen or something else?

 

[monstermakoy]

yes the log on screen. can we disable it or remove?

 

[Mark]

Well I think you can have it set to Auto login somewhere but I haven't really looked into it because I don't get the login screen as I don't use a password, just found a great tutorial that should show you the way by one of our Great Admin Shawn. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/377-log-automatically-startup.html

i already done that tutorial. what i mean is that when you turn on the computer it directly login to windows (where the icons are).
after the boot screen. without displaying the welcome screen.

can we do that???

why im asking that, coz my computer runs with 1 gb memory (128 on vga, 896 usable.) that's why i have to disable the welcome screen to speed up the login boot time.

do what mrGrim and I do. don't use a password, and make only one account (admin account). this will not show you the logon screen. that is if you're confident that no one can touch you machine or there's nothing worth stealing.

or do you mean to show the desktop right after the loading bar? without the please wait and welcome?
that i don not know. hehe

Try this, in the search bar in the start menu type msconfig, a box should appear, choose the boot tab, in the boot options tick the box that says "No GUI boot," click apply and restart.

This works but it still takes the same time to boot up would rather the boot GUI on

You asked if it could be removed, not reduce boot time. My system boots in about 45 seconds, is it really an issue waiting for less than a minute?

Anyway, you can reduce boot time by checking what programs launch on start, things like Java update, nero, etc just stop them by again using the msconfig and selecting the startup tab and unchecking the stuff you don't want. Other things you can do is remove icons from your desktop, empty recycling bin, defrag your HDD, uninstall unused software and bloatware. Delay start of antivirus.
Check your bios, (this will be done by pressing either F1, F10, or the DEL key when booting,)look for a quick boot mode and if it has one set it. Doing so will cause your computer to skip the boot-up memory tests and Power On Self Tests. While in your bios check th eboot order and make sure your HDD is first and not CD or USB.

Or you could go by an Asus P5Q-SE and enable the Express gate and you can boot and be on the net in 5 seconds =)
Loving it

Autologon

works with a password and all versions of windows 2000+

MSconfig NO GUI option... removes the startup win 7 graphic. But does not remove the Welcome Screen with the "new RTM colours and flowers screen".

Thanks though it was a good try.

Now, that's the one I want to ditch... Hell, I know I'm welcome to my PCs ever since Windows XP, I don't need them to be that polite anymore...

Although the Help & Support message says you can't do it, it can easily be done.

Go to Control Panel, Power Options. At the top of the list on the left is: "Require a password on wakeup." Click on that. At the bottom of the screen is "Change settings that are currently unavailable" Click on that sentence. Check mark "Don't require a password on wakeup"

I found it while setting up my new computer with Windows 7 and haven't been bothered since.

You can remove it the exact same way as XP.

-open a command and type in "control userpasswords2" and press Enter
-uncheck the users must enter a user name and password to use this computer

Thanks. This worked for me.

I am trying to bypass entering a password, it is possible by going to the command line and typing "control userpasswords2" you then get a management console that comes up and allows you to de-select a box for any of your user accounts, then hit apply and enter the password for this account twice. Once this is done you can reboot and it should go directly to desktop.

My problem is I am trying to do this on a computer that is on a domain and I am having different issues. Has anyone accomplished this on a PC that is on a domain? Any feedback would be helpful.

Right click desktop, personalize, click screen saver, if you do not have one set, make sure the "On resume, display logon screen" box is not selected. Also, go to control panel, power options, change plan settings and change when you want your display to turn off.

Hope that helps.
