I think while the WELCOME screen is up, the OS is loading itself and all your preferences from disk. Check the disk activity light. If it's blinking or on solid, you are waiting for everything to get into memory and setup for your use. Shutting down takes too long for my liking. Haw many files can be open and need such lengthy cache dumping and closing? (I just edit the c:\boot.ini file to chg the other wait for OS choice to load. Never knew ther was an option somewhere.)

Ohhhh, heh, the Welcome screen image can be changed, but that is when your OS is pulling all the necessary components into memory to run. Only increased CPU speed or more memory will speed that up.

Subject: RE: [QUAD-L] Controlling other computersHi Aaron,I thought that was where I saw it but there is a box for "Time to display list of operating systems:" I don't have that box checked so my default OS should start run at start up. I thought I had seen about the same-thing for the 'Welcome' screen but it may have been this. Thanks.With Love,

Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Controlling other computersHi David,BTW: Do you know where to set the amount of time the 'Welcome' screen is displayed at log-on? I know where to switch it on & off (i.e. User Accounts,) but I remember seeing a place to set the 'Welcome' screen once, but can't find it now. Thanks..

I don't know how or if it would work on a network, but you might try it out.With Love,Gang O' Gimps,
I finally have my my own little network at home. My desktop upstairs,
my mother's desktop downstairs, and my mother's laptop. Anyway, mother
isn't the most computer literate person in the world so it would be much
easier for me to be able to control her computer than to try to explain
to her what she needs to do. Anyone know a good program for doing
that? Thanks
