Getting ClearType to work on the welcome screen:

ClearType only works on the users account on Windows
after they FontSmoothing (String Value)

HKEY_USERS>>Default>>Control Panel>>Desktop>>FontSmoothingType login. To get it to show up on the welcome screen edit the registry key. Navigate to HKEY_USERS>>Default>>Control Panel>>Desktop>> (Hexadecimal DWORD Value)

Both of these values should be set to 2 and ClearType will be enabled on the welcome screen and on each users name.

Note: use extreme caution when editing your registry... only attempt this if you know what you are doing.
