I log into windows xp through a domain. Is there a way to change that into windows Home edition style login, so that i can use these login skins?

No, the only way is to log into a workgroup instead of a domain. If you need the domain then you can't have the XP style logon.

Actualy, i was talking to my dad, and what i thought was a domain, actualy wasn't. The way my family computer logs in is the traditional way. Where there is that single minimized window in the middle that lets you a user and then type a password in the blank bellow. Is there a way to change that back to "Home edition" login style?
