Hello,
Is it possible to log into a domain that I have a user account in but no trust exists between this and my normal domain which my computer is a member of. I want to be able to see this domain from the pull down list of domains at logon.I'm thinking there might be a registry hack to do this. Thanks for any help.

For connecting network-drives use the explorer and "map network drive". Connect the drive using "connect as": \\.
For an other way you should use RAS or VPN.

Thanks for the answer but I'm looking for a way of logging on rather than mapping a drive or RAS

Nope.
The workstation you are logging in with must either be a member of the domain you want to log into, or it must be a member of a domain that trusts the domain you want to log into.
If neither situation is true, then you can't log into the domain.
