XP Logoff dialog now '98 style (1071 in shell32.dll)- Oops!
Posted by dalchina on May 20th, 2008


XP Pro SP3
Hi, the logoff dialog now appears to be using dialog 1071 in shell32.dll,
which uses the smaller 98 style logoff, not the newer XP one, 1089.

How do I reset it to what it should be in XP (dialog 1089 in shell32.dll)?

(Background: I had used Vista Transformation Pack 8, but then SP3 came, and
I had to redo customisation again another way. All looks nice again, apart
from this).

Logoff works (no switch user button of course), but appears as a smaller
dialog box without any bmp graphic or special buttons.

I was going to guess it's a registry entry. I've demonstrated to my own
satisfaction it's nothing specific to shell32.dll or msgina.dll. But for what
it's worth, I can't find 1071 in the registry.

I've searched various places for a solution, unsuccessfully so far. I don't
know what specifically changed it, as it's some time since I used that
dialog.

Thanks, dalchina

Ok, thanks, I've found the answer - but it took a long time!
To me at least this wasn't obvious.

Go to control panel>users> and turn on fast user switching.
- but this wasn't possible. Why? Offline files was enabled.
- first disable offline files, then turn on fast user switching.

Hope that helps someone.
