Could be that you have the Welcome screen disabled. Go to Control Panel --> User Accounts and click 'Change the way users log on and off'. Make sure you have 'Use the Welcome screen' checked and apply the changes. If that's not checked, you get the default login box.
do you think its might be that i have to keep the file. like with the windows theme i accidentally deleted Rocketdock and it wouldn't show up so i had to reinstall it and stick it in my documents. so so you think i would have to keep the logon screen folder somewhere
so it can load it up from my computer when i restart?
