It should be very easy, when you installed it you renamed "winlogon.exe" to "winlogon.bak" and you renamed "minlogon.exe" to "winlogon.exe", right? Simply undo that by renaming "winlogon.exe" to "minlogon.exe" and "winlogon.bak" to "winlogon.exe". Then restart.
You could do a search on the hard drive for "winlogon.exe", you might have to replace it in 2 folders... maybe if the windows file protection thing is activated.

Yeah, I got into some funky trouble with windows activation. After I reverted to the original winlogon.exe it would start to log on then come up with an error about windows activation. Clicking okay just started the boot process again, so it was an infinite loop. It was the same in safemode.
The only thing that worked was doing a repair install. Which worked out okay I guess.
I did the same procedure on my arcade cabinet and it worked just fine (minlogon didn't work too well booting straight into my FE). Same basic installation, so I don't know what the deal was.

Windows activation? Did you try a crack to circumvent that or do you actually go online and activate?
I hate "activation" and "genuine" and all that hassle, M$ really hassles it's users. I avoid all of that mess.
Cheers,
Craig
cadmium:
LOL, didn't give me a chance to do either.

I think I had that problem with one corporate version... IIR home and corporate reacted differently to milogon integration. That what's good about "Virtual PC", you can make an OS and quickly test it to see if it works.
Cheers,
