Logon Screen - Users now required to click on 'Other User' before entering account info

Hi all,
we recently deployed a number of updates to the Windows 7 devices on our estate. The updates installed ok but now the Windows logon screen has changed.
Previously: the user pressed ctrl + alt + del and then had to enter their Username and Password
Now: the user presses ctrl + alt + del, the user has to click on the 'Other User' icon and then enter their Username and Password
Can anyone provide any information on why the Other User icon may have suddenly appeared or, more significantly, suggest how it may be disabled? In GPO
Interactive Logon:Do not display last username is set to enabled.
Any help would be much appreciated since i'm stumped.
Thanks!

Quick update, managed to figure out how to fix this issue:
in GPO; Computer Config > Adm Templates > System > Hide entry points for Fast User Switching (set to
Enabled)
I still have no idea why the installation of updates caused Fast User Switching to kick in, but hiding the entry points seems to have solved the issue. If anyone has any suggestions as to why the problem manifested itself in the first place, i'm all ears!

I purchased Adobe Design Standard in June 1993 and have not downloaded it until now. when I click on the software on my account there is no download button. How can I download the software I purchased so long ago? I hope it is not money down the drain. Is there any phone number available so I can talk to an Adobe employee?

Which version of Design Standard are you asking about? I don't think any Creative Suite packages existed in 1993. I think the first CS came out in 2003.

App Store now requires one-click?

has anyone else noticed a change that the app store now requires that you are using one-click rather than cart in iTunes? This happened when purchasing a "free" app from the store. Before I never had that message.
I noticed this after the iTunes 8 / FW 2.1 upgrade but until I am convinced of stability, I'm still running iTunes 7.7.0 + FW 2.0.1.

Just an update: I've 'bought' some free apps by clicking the 'buy' button from the dialog box that explains about 1-click. It seems like it treats that purchase as a 1-click purchase (and if it hadn't been free my credit card would have been charged) but it doesn't change the setting in the preferences, so other purchases at the store can be bought using the basket.
Hope this helps.

Switched wireless modem and carriers and now I'm locked out - where do I enter admin info?

I switched wireless carriers tonight and now I'm unable to setup new wireless modem because it says that it has been locked by the administrator. I never setup any kind of administartor anything. How do I proceed?

Hi @hobart1,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that you are locked by the administrator with your HP Officejet 8610. I am happy to help you with this issue!
I would recommend to go through this post, Re: RESET WIRELESS NETWORK SETTINGS ON OFFICEJET PRO 8610 WITH INSTANT INK SERVICE, by my colleague @Waterboy71.
Another suggestion, is to try converting from a USB connection to a wireless connection. To do so, please see this website, Convert from a USB connected printer to wireless.
Hope this information is helpful!

User's Mail account info changed

My wife just called me at work with a bizarre Mail situation. Our iMac at home has 2 user accounts, mine and hers, and each has Mail configured for our own individual e-mail accounts, reasonably enough.
My Mail account is a full .Mac account. Her e-mail account is an e-mail only .Mac account, with her own e-mail address, obviously.
This morning the power went off and the computer with it. When she restarted, she logged into her account and got my e-mail. And when she checks the account details it is indeed configured to receive my mail.
For the time being I've asked her to use webmail until I get home to take a look. Could this have something to do with the upcoming .Mac changes? How could a power outage switch Mail accounts?

Now that I've come home I can guess roughly what happened. The power outage must have caused one of the Mail files--preferences or something--to become corrupt, and so the account didn't show up when Mail started.
Now, my .Mac settings are in her system preferences. So Mail, being friendly and accommodating, must have automatically created a .Mac account for her when it found no other accounts configured in Mail and since my account settings were in system preferences, it was able to do that no problem.

DATABASE LOGON SCREEN

Whenever I run the test report and don;t fill in the USERID parameter before I click SUBMIT, the database logon screen appears prompting me to enter the db info..but when I enter the info and click SUBMIT, the same screen keeps reappearing with the fields cleared out...any ideas why this is happening?

THanks for the replies...however, database startup is not the problem since it works for the forms server. It is only in reports that I have this problem. If I enter the db info in the html form, it works fine. But if I dont, the db logon screen appears prompting me to enter the db info and everytime I enter in the info and click RUN FORM, the same db logon screen keeps coming back...any other ideas?

Multiple logon screen doesnt appear and session end in 30mins

Hi all,
I have a problem with my login session.
Multiple users use the same SAP USER ID to logon. but when i try to logon ( even when others are logged on d same id) i dont get the option for multiple logon screen to terminate/continue without ending the other logons but i get to logon directly without this screen as if i am the only user of this id.
but when others try to logon (when others are logged on the same id) they get the screen of multiple logon with options.
and my session termiates after every 30mins but their sessions continue without any termination. please note that no one termites the session by themselves.
I am not able to figure out what is happening. I changed my pc, my gui, updated to the latest patches, changed the lan ports but nothing changes. i continue to face the same problem. please provide d needful solution.
thanks.

Hi Kumar,
I have given the answer for ur question which u have posted in portal implementation.

First check whether changes take effect or not in NWDS itself by running the project thro poralapp.xml then go for server change the authschemes.xml and restart it.
Very importantly check that u have all the images in the layout folder and you used correct names in ur coding.Try to follow my code.

URLs clicked in other programs won't load in Firefox

Just within the last 1-3 weeks (?) or so, I find that I can't click on links in other programs and have the URL load in Firefox, which is my default browser. They always used to load perfectly and switch me to the new tab in FF, but now they don't.
At first I tried disabling a couple of recent FF add-ons one at a time to see if one of them might have been the problem, but that didn't seem to solve it, though I may have missed one. Still, I can't imagine how an unrelated add-on could cause URLs not to load from other programs. I have tried loading URLs by clicking on them in Thunderbird, WordPad, MailWasher Pro, and even Libre Office, but all of them either just twitched the screen for an instant and then stopped, or else gave me a message such as "WordPad was unable to open the URL" or "There was a problem sending the command to the program" (Libre Office). However, when I copy and paste those same URLs into FF and hit Enter, those sites load perfectly.
I may be wrong in this, but it appears that something has changed within FF that now prevents links clicked in other programs from loading. My only other thought at the moment is that this '''may''' possibly have started about the time I upgraded from FF 10.0.2 to FF 11.0.1, but I have no firm evidence to support that theory.
This is really an annoying and inconvenient problem, so any help in resolving it will be hugely appreciated!
Thanks,
Al

The problem is fixed now as a result of some help I got on the WindowsSecrets forum. Once I realized that the problem was occurring not just with MWP and Thunderbird, but with other programs as well (I tried WordPad and Libre Office, both of which likewise failed to load the URL into Firefox), I posted the question on other forums, trying to see if others knew anything about this issue. I got the answer from a forum member on this page:
http://windowssecrets.com/forums/showthread.php/145441-URLs-clicked-in-other-programs-won-t-load-in-Firefox?p=847784#post847784
In case you're not a member there or can't load that page, here was his suggestion:
With FF closed type %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ in the start menu search box, click the item that appears and delete localstore.rdf FF will replace it on starting.
I did that and all four programs that had previous problems loading URLs, including MWP, now load them perfectly. The only (minor) problem with this solution was that localstore.rdf apparently stores all the info about such things as the Firefox toolbars and their customisation, so all that was lost when I deleted the file, but I got them re-customised fairly quickly and all is well. Any thoughts regarding what localstore.rdf does, why this problem happened, or how to prevent it from happening again will be appreciated.
I hope this info helps. Thanks again for all your help.

ANOTHER blue screen post - yes I've read the others

Please don't post any links to the Apple support docs. I've read them all, tried it, and their solutions do nothing. My system does not have the "ApplicationEnhancer.bundle" file present, and these are BRAND NEW 10.5 installs (not upgrades), which are going to blue screen within minutes or hours after install, so doing an "archive and install" is just pointless as doing a fresh install is the same thing.
So, now I have tried THREE different completely fresh (reformatted disk) installs of Leopard on my Dual 2.5 G5, and every single time I end up with a blue screen after I restart once or twice. This has happened right after a 10.5.0 install from the DVD on the first restart (before even entering account info), and it has happened after getting all the way to 10.5.3 with other system software up-to-date, then next morning, blue screen, no startup. In 2 of the 3 instances, I never installed ANY other software other than what popped up in software update, and in the 3rd instance I got as far as Photoshop and setting up my eMail before back to blue screen fun.
What's the deal? Leopard is just unusable on a Dual G5? I got it installed on a much older eMac and 12" Powerbook G4 with no issues using the same install DVD, and the G5 always appears to be fine, until a restart and then nada. I'm very careful to repair disk permissions before and after any software updates, and as I said, I've barely installed any software on the computer, and actually installed no extra software in a couple of cases, yet the problem continues.
Other interesting facts: I would normally hold down 'option' and choose my backup cloned Tiger firewire volume to boot up off of since I can't boot up off the internal, but holding option also results in an infinite spinning watch icon - the internal Leopard volume is visible, but it never shows my external 10.4 volume and never stops spinning the watch so I can't actually choose an option anyway.
At this point, I'm going to clone my backup Tiger OS back to my internal and give up on 10.5, but would love to know why this is happening, and why when there are seemingly dozens of other threads about the same issue that there is no solution.

That IS interesting, because at that stage you are not running Leopard. OS X has not yet loaded, and you are only running Startup Manager, which is in the Mac's firmware. Since you are experiencing problems even before OS X has booted, I wonder if you have a hardware problem - either a bad or loose internal component or a flaky external cable, hub, or device. Try disconnecting any external devices or hubs. I would also try resetting PRAM and running Apple Hardware Test if you haven't already done so.

Why do I have a grey logon screen now after downloading Yosemite ?

Hi, sorry if this sounds daft but please could anyone tell me why I no longer have my regular login/start up screen when I turn my macbook pro on ? I used to get a small flower icon with my name underneath it that I just had to enter my password into, now, after installing Yosemite, I am presented with a grey/white screen with a torso silhouette and then my name underneath and then space to enter my password. If I enter my password it oddly starts a bar system loading with an apple icon above it, it then mostly goes to my desktop ( eventually ) but sometimes goes to the original logon screen where I have to enter my password again ???
I am not certain that Yosemite has installed correctly? if I click the apple logo and "about this mac" - it says I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10 but in my app store account, the download is not listing as done or even waiting to be done ?
Does anyone have any ideas please ?
Many thanks

Hello Armando
Check out the article below for troubleshooting your issue with the display. There are a few things that can be done, like changing the resolution of the display and also to reset the NVRAM to see if that resolves that for you.

Add users to Windows logon screen (server 2008 R2)

Hello
Our one server was setup to display 3 user names in the logon screen, vs just the username / domain options to fill out.
The settings have been blown away somehow, and i need to re-add a few users to the logon screen.
I have tried the suggestions with no luck. Most sites recommend Interactive Logon: Do not display last user name gpo
setting. This did not work for me.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Giermo,
Please try to modify the regeistry to achieve this, please also note Always make a backup of the Windows Registry before you modify any settings:
Open regedit
Press Windows+R
Type regedit + enter
Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList]
You will probably want to right-click on “ProfileList” and click export to save the entire subtree in case something goes wrong.
You will find several subfolders or “keys” named something like “S-1-x-xx…”, open them one at the time
Each should contain at least the three value-sets, “Flags”, “ProfileImagePath” and “State”, some will contain more
Look at the end of ProfileImagePath for the name of the user represented by the key
You will usually have one for each user on the system, and one for each of the three system entries ‘systemprofile’, ‘LocalService’ and ’NetworkService’
Delete any key (i.e. the whole “S-1-x-xx” folder) that does not contain at least those three values. Also delete any empty key named default.

Windows 7 Welcome Screen doesn't display user account

You saved it after setting the Password? :
Inspector > Document > Document > Require Password to Open
I just tested it and it shows up ijn The Finder with a padlock on the file icon and does require a password to open.
