Can't access XP login window in Seamless

Post by brisk »

I expect this is a technical limitation, but thought I'd ask:

Is it possible to access the windows account log in window while in Seamless mode? I'd prefer to always stay in Seamless but have to switch back to windowed mode in order to enter my username/password (when I switch between my work domain account and home local account).

I know this is an old post, but I've searched here and Google and can't find out if there is a way to enable seeing the logon screen while in seamless mode. I'm using 4.1.10 and if I log off the guest, I can't log back on without going to Full Screen, then back to Seamless.

What does "login screen" mean?

If it means the desktop with the words "Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to log in" painted on it... well in seamless mode the desktop is hidden. So no, the desktop can't be hidden and visible at the same time.
