In the welcome screen is it possible to disable the "logged on" notice when a user is logged on?

taken from http://www.tweakxp.com
 
1. click on "Start" - then click on "Run" - and type
"control userpasswords2"
2. click OK
3. On the Users tab, clear the "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" check box and click "Apply".
4. Select the user you want to log on  & click OK. A dialog will appear that asks you what user name and password should be used to logon automatically, just click "OK".

Then go to Control Panel / User Accounts, and click “Change the way users log on or off”, and untick both “Use the Welcome Screen” and “Use Fast User Switching”

Why don\'t you want it to say that? Heh, I don\'t get it.

you can change the xp start up not to show that screen at all....ever.  Not sure if you\'d want that though.  I have mine turned off.

I am not sure that you can do that with fast user switching.
