Yes you can. Simply use the up and down arrows to select the user account, type in the password if required, then hit Enter.

    Can the login sequence at the XP Welcome Screen be initiated by the keyboard, or does the user have to click on the username icon?

    Note: the double Ctrl Alt Del trick does not work if a user is already logged in, so please don't suggest that.

    No, I don't want to disable the Welcome Screen. What I want is to be able to login without having to mouse click on the username icon on the Welcome Screen. I would rather trigger this action by a keyboard shortcut.

    Oh, then why not try pressing Tab until the username is selected then pressing enter?
