JohnCoool:
I saw a post about the same subject in this forum but it is not working for me.

I have WIndows 7 and 8.1 Home edition and did not work on either one.

They are not joined to any domain.

I am trying to increase the duration of the welcome screen at login and tried to use this tweak. It is advised to use the number 5 in most threads I found. But not sure what the 5 refers to. Is it 5 seconds?

I tried 60 to take 1 min but did not work.

Will this Tweak work on my computers? Is there another solution?

What are the numbers that need to be used? Is there a guide for it?

I wasn't aware you could do this as I don't have any passwords on my machines.

A Google has produced this article for Win 7 but I assume this is the method you are referring to ?

This is for Win 8.1 https://conetrix.com/blog/windows-881-lock-screen-display-timeout

JohnCoool:
 I need to increase the welcome screen duration so that desktop only shows up after the programs have loaded.

There is a 1 min gap between the programs showing up and the end of the welcome screen.

I have been working on a solution for years and just today I came across the tweak. But it did not work. I might be using the wrong value. Not sure how to refer seconds in the registry.

I need to delay it for security reasons. I have secure programs that need to be running at the same time the desktop shows up.

Boggin:
If those programs are in your Start-up menu, I would expect them to auto start with Windows.
