Smart Logon

Smart Logon is a cool little tool that helps you change the look of your Windows system. If you're still using Windows XP, this software can swap out your welcome screen for a nice Vista-style one. So, if you want to give your old operating system a fresh vibe, this might be the way to go!

How Smart Logon Works

Once you run the Smart Logon executable file, it automatically gets installed in the Windows "Fonts" folder. Easy peasy! But here's the catch: there's no pop-up at the end telling you whether it worked or not. You’ll know if it’s done after you restart your computer to see the new changes.

A Quick Note on Performance

Now, while Smart Logon does its job pretty well, we noticed something interesting. After installing it, our computers seemed to slow down a bit. The overall performance dipped and even the startup time took a hit. So keep that in mind before diving in!

No Graphical Interface?

One thing that could be better with Smart Logon is that it doesn’t come with a user-friendly interface for changing settings or uninstalling itself. If you decide to remove it later, you'll need to go into the Windows "Fonts" directory and manually delete four files named "Segoe UI." It’s not too hard but definitely not convenient.

No Updates Ahead

If you're hoping for updates or new features with Smart Logon, don't hold your breath! It hasn’t been updated and likely won’t be anytime soon. But hey, if you're an XP fan and want to try something different, give it a shot—just remember it might slow things down!
