Chas, the problem with that method is that many times, the uploader has zipped up the actual logonxp file, so if you change the zip to logonxp, you end up with the real logonxp file inside the lgonoxp file you just created.
The easiest way I have found to deal with the problem is this
Go download ZipCentral http://zipcentral.iscool.net/ ... it's free.
I'm suggesting ZC over WinZip for 2 reasons. 1. WinZip is not free, and 2. I don't know if you can execute things from within a zip without extracting it first with WinZip.
Open the zip file with ZipCentral, you'll probably find a logonxp file inside.
Double-click the logonxp file.
Your logon should load, and open LogonStudio.
(Of course you can try this with WinZip if you wish, it may work, or you may have to extract it first. This is up to you) 
If this doesn't work, then there's another problem, and you should tell us which logon you're having trouble with. Link to it if at all possible, so we don't have to hunt it down. We'll help if we can.

Another common scenario is that "Use the welcome screen" and "Use Fast User switching" isn't checked. Therefore, the welcome screen won't apply the Logon because it is off. This scenario can be found in your Logon and Logoff options.
This program is quite simple. One just has to get use to using WindowsXP. WindowsXP handles zip files quite differently than other windows versions. And, WinXP handles Logons differently too. It makes your computer more secure but it is slightly more complicated.
Note: There is a free version of WinZip. If you then create a folder called "unzipped" in the root of your C directory and install winzip to the default location, all your unzipped files will go to the unzipped folder by default. Winzip use to create that unzipped folder for you. It doesn't now, but if you create it yourself, it will work the same.
