When I first got my PC the logon screen was the graphical kind where is
listed all the users on the system and all you had to do was then click on
them and type in the password.
Being the kind of person I am, I soon got bored of the logon screen and
downloaded a 3rd party program to change this. Later on I had some problems
with my hard drive and had to delete some stuff to get it working properly
again (one of these being the 3rd party program).
Now when I boot up, the logon screen has changed to the old style box where
you enter your user name and password.
Is there anyway to change this back to the graphical version??

Click Start, Run and type Control Userpasswords
Click Change the way users log on or off
Enable "Use the Welcome Screen" and click Apply Options button
