Suddenly, and for no apparent reason, my login screen has changed from the cool XP login where you get to pick different profiles from their icons, to the "old fashioned" login screen of previous versions of Windows. Does anyone know how to change it back?! Thanks for any advice!

Fast switching was disabled by a recently installed program's DLL in the system 32 folder. I updated the program in question and was able to change the way users login back to the XP fast switching screen. Thanks for the clue!
