On our XP Home laptop I have 2 users on the welcome screen, while my admin
account uses (ctrl alt del) x2.

All is fine until it goes into standby when I am in admin. Then on wake up
the welcome screen comes back, but (ctrl alt del) x2 does nothing. I can't
see a way to get back into my account without rebooting. Is there another
way (opening one of the other accounts is as slow as rebooting)?

Cheers,

Probably the only way is to disable the standby mode and make it lock
the desktop after a certain period of time (meaning you will have to
re-enter the admin password to get back to your desktop).

I had a similar issue where if I clicked on one account name, then
click on another my cursor would never show up so I couldn't type the
password in and had to use the ctrl+alt+delx2 to login.

Thanks,
Have disabled standby, but how do I make it lock the desktop?
