Hello , I Think We Can Use These keys to prevent the light blue "Welcome"
screen. The side effect is that you will see 2 short dialogs in place
of it. We can Access the Registry from start > run > regedit.exe

Hello , we Can Depend On Minimal Logon (MinLogon) Whicd is a hybrid version of the Windows Logon component (WinLogon) that ships with both Windows XP Embedded and Windows XP Professional. WinLogon is a utility that provides logon and authentication support for users to the local system and/or network domain. It consists of an executable file, a dynamic-link library (DLL), and associated services. WinLogon is not available for Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me). MinLogon is particular to Windows XP Embedded as it is geared toward the needs of embedded developers, and so is not available or supported on Windows XP Professional systems. Using MinLogon in a Windows XP Embedded runtime allows you to reduce boot time, shutdown time, and footprint. However, there are some points to keep in mind when using these techniques.With Minlogon you miss out *everything* straight to desktop (or your frontend as shell) after the black windows screen
