If the "welcome screen" you're describing is the Fast User Switching screen,
note that FUS is only enabled if you are _not_ joined to a domain.

It sounds like you may be looking for a domain-only feature to be supported
on a non-domain installation of XP. Certainly XP Home cannot be joined to a
domain, and that's one of your stated platforms.
