If your system is not using the Welcome screen and you want
it to, follow these steps:
While logged on as an administrator, open User Accounts in Control Panel.
Click the Change The Way Users Log On Or Off link.
If a warning message about offline files appears, simply click Cancel. As the
message points out, offline files and Fast User Switching are incompatible,
but you don't need to disable offline files to enable only the Welcome screen.
Select Use The Welcome Screen and then click Apply Options.
By default, whenever the screen saver kicks in and you subsequently press a key
or move the mouse, you'll find yourself back at the Welcome screen. This provides
some protection against someone using your computer when you've stepped away.
To resume working, you'll need to click your name and enter your password. If
you'd rather return to work without going through these extra steps, do the following:
Right-click the desktop and choose Properties to open the Display Properties dialog box.
Click the Screen Saver tab.
Clear the check box labeled On Resume, Display Welcome Screen
(if Fast User Switching is enabled) or On Resume, Password Protect
(if Fast User Switching is disabled).
