Note
This entry can be overridden by a Group Policy. When the Don't display welcome screen at logon policy in the User Configuration or Computer Configuration folders is enabled, this entry is ignored. Users can display the welcome screen manually, but the system does not display it at logon, regardless of the setting of the Show this screen at startup check box. The Don't display welcome screen at logon policy setting is stored in NoWelcomeScreen (HKLM) and NoWelcomeScreen (HKCU).
This entry affects Windows 2000nbsp;Professional only.
Tip
If a user's Welcome screen does not appear as expected, check the setting of the Don't display welcome screen at logon policy. This policy takes preference over the user setting and the value of this entry.
