No User name on Shutdown Menu

Hello,

I just noticed there is no logged-in user name listed on shutdown menu or to
switch from log off window.. Click Start button.. just above Turn Off
Computer, there is no User name listed.. I dont know how long it's been like
that, but what can I do to get it back?

Thanks.

I should say the other params.. XP Home, SP2, PowerToys with Auto Log-On,
so I do get logged on, just the User name does not appear on either the Turn
Off Computer menu, or Switch Users Screen.

Use TweakUI and define who should be seen on the logon screen.

What would the "Start Menu" have to do with the Logon/Welcome screen?

Logon section in TweakUI --> Show _________ on Welcome Screen...
UN-X any you don't want to be seen.

In case what you want is the pretty username at the top of the Windows XP
start menu...

Set that value to 0.

Also make sure you are not using the Classic Start menu.
