From few days, I don't get Shutdown Buttons when I hit shut-down on my WinXp, instead I get a dialog-box.

And when I press Ctrl+Alt+Del, a dialog-box appears with options Lock Computer, Log-off, shut-down, Change password, task Manager and Cancel.

How to get rid of that...please help me

Thnks

hv u disabled "Welcome Screen"? Goto:

Control Panel -> User Accounts -> Change the way users log off/ on

Now make sure "Use Welcome Screen" is enabled.
