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.
