Reading between the randomness..

You installed a Linksys Wireless USB Network Adapter and it changed your
Windows XP logon screen from the Welcome Screen to the classic Windows 2000
Logon Prompt? That seems strange.. Usually you only lose the Welcome
Screen if you turn it off or you join a domain.

You could try the registry entry:
[Start] --> [Run] --> [Regedit]
Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\
CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Data Type: REG_DWORD [Dword Value]
Value Name: LogonType
Value Data: [0 - Classic Mode / 1 - Welcome Screen]
Modify/Create the Value Name [LogonType] according to the Value Data listed
above.
Exit Registry and Reboot

Although - if you installed "Client Service for Netware" --> that could
cause it.
Go to Network Places --> Right click on the network connection and click
Properties --> Highlight the Client Services for NetWare and click
uninstall --> Reboot.
Control Panel --> User Accounts --> Click Change the way users logon -->
check the Welcome Screen and Fast User Switching --> Reboot again.
