As described in “Logging On and Logging Off” in Chapter 1, Windows gives you two ways to log on (if you’re not on a domain):
The Welcome screen (refer to Figure 1.1) is the easiest and fastest way to log on. You simply click your name and type your password (if you have one).
The classic logon prompt (see Figure 16.14 later in this chapter) is a more secure, less convenient method. You must type your user name and, if necessary, your password.
