Title: Icon for Shutting Down are the older style now
Post by: busymom on September 12, 2011, 01:19:42 PM
I dont know what I did but you know when you go to start then Shut Down You will get a list of icons for shut down restart etc. Well now when I go to Shut Down my pops up a box of a old style with a drop down box to choose from. I would like the icons back not this drop box but I have no idea what to even make the pop box appear.
I took a screen shot so you would see what I mean.

Try this:

    Go to Start>> Control Panel

    Click User Accounts

    Click "Change the way users log on or off"

    Make sure the box next to "Use welcome screen" is checked.

Does not work and besides I do not want to have to check which account to use. I just want the Win XP Icons instead of this pop up box when i shut down

This is what you get if you use the Welcome Screen

This is what you get if you don't use the Welcome Screen

Are you saying that before, you had the new style icons but no Welcome Screen?
