I don't know what a "Friendly Logon UI" is. I am so sorry
for my ignorance, I am new to Windows XP and am
constantly trying to figure it out. How do I get to
this "Friendly Logon UI", if that's what I need to do?
Thanks for responding to my posts. I don't remember
giving a password to the administrator during setup. The
computer had XP installed before I was given it, new, for
Christmas. I did give the computer a password, but have
no clue where I can access it, again.
