Problem with XP user accounts?

[Rob P]

When I alt-ctr-del on the desktop I get a window which shows my current active account (the only one on this PC) and a little CPU usage icon in the systems tray.

Why cant I see the conventional list of active programs, system shut down etc?

I dont need user accounts, can I disable it? The Users area in the control panel does not make it obvious....



HELP!

Does the window have three little buttons at the bottom - disconnect, logoff, send message?
If so, look near the top left of that window, just under where it says 'file' it shoud say 'applications'. Click on that, that should be what you're used to seeing.

If thats not what you've got infront of you, can you give some more info about what this box looks like?

Excellent!

Could not see "file" but clicking about and a few tabs appeared.

Thanks for the tip
