Tip Of The Day: Hiding the Welcome Screen
The ‘Welcome to Windows’ and ‘Friendly Winlogon’ screens –
Sometimes, you may not want to see the Welcome to Windows screen or the Friendly Winlogon screen. Instead, you may want to directly type in your credentials and get on with your business. In that case, while building an image using Target Designer, make sure to uncheck the following options
1. Show Friendly Winlogon
2. Show ‘Welcome to Windows’ screen before Winlogon
These 2 check boxes are found in the Windows Logon (Standard) component > Settings option > Winlogon settings tab (present on the right side in Target Designer)
