Why after upgrading to DynaSCAPE 3.4, does my computer show the Welcome Screen when I start Windows?
DynaSCAPE 3.4 requires the Microsoft .NET Framework Version 1.1 to be installed on your computer, since some of the new features in DynaSCAPE make use of this technology. This is the explanation from the Microsoft Knowledge Base: “When you start Windows on a computer that is running Windows XP and that has only one local user account, and this local user account does not have a password, the Welcome screen does not appear. Instead, your desktop appears. However, when you start Windows on a computer that is running Windows XP and that has more than one local user account, the Welcome screen appears… When you install the .NET Framework 1.1, a hidden local user account that is named ASPNET is created. When you start Windows, Windows treats the ASPNET local user account as an additional user account, although the ASPNET user account is hidden. Therefore, the Welcome screen appears and prompts you to click your user name… This behavior is by design.
