Control Panel

L

Laraine

Somehow I have lost the "control panel" on my start up
menu. How do I get it back?

How do I unlock my computer? Everytime I go away for a
minute and come back to screensaver, which I move my mouse
to open, it tells me to put in password because computer
is locked. How did this happen and how do I cahnge it?

Please help!

To get the control panel back, do the following:

1. Right-click the start menu and select "Properties"
2. Click the "Customize..." button
3. Click the "Advanced" tab
4. In the "Start Menu Items:" section, select your preference for
"Control Panel".

To avoid having the computer lock after the sreen saver is activated, do the
following:

1. Right-click your desktop and select "Properties"
2. Click the screen saver tab
3. Clear the box labeled "On resume, password protect"


Let us know if you have any further questions.
