xp logging into multiple domains

I need to join multiple domains where I work. I can join each domain individually no problem, but I want to have the option of logging into either domain upon boot. When I join a different domain the prior one I had joined no longer appears as a login possibility. I have to go to my computer-> network configuration to change back to the other domain then re-boot and as I said before the other domain is no longer there. Does anyone know if there is a way to have multiple domains set up simultaneously so that all I have to do when I log on is choose the domain I want with the appropriate login credentials. This is crazy that I have to re-join myself to a domain each time I want to log into it, then re-boot and loose previous domain info.. Any info. would be kindly appreciated.

Not sure but if it is possible check in your local securily settings: start menue, programs, administrative tools, local security policy. Adm. If you do not see admin tools right click on the start menu, properties, start menue, check show admin tools. The local security policy stores things like messages to show users when they log on, etc. It would probably be in there somewhere if it is possible.
