This is on a Windows XP Home w/ SP2 system.
Basically as the subject line states, the option in the screen saver tab of
display properties that used to say "on resume, display welcome screen" now
reads "on resume, paddword protect". And now, instead of showing the
welcome screen when the screen save goes off, it is showing the computer
locked box where you can type a username and password in.
If I press Winkey + L, or durring start up and shut down it still shows the
welcome screen.
I have changed absolutely nothing on the system. It simply started doing
this just the other day.
In the user accounts control panel the use welcome screen, and fast user
switching are still enabled, just as they have always been.
I have tried some registry tweaks I found online that said would restore the
on resume display welcome screen option, but all they did was disable the on
resume password protect option (greyed it out), and it did not change it
back to the welcome screen option. I removed the entries that the tweaks
placed in the registry.
I have tried disabling and enableing the fast user switching and welcome
screen options and neither changed anything. I have tried enabling another
user account so it was more then just my 1 account on the welcome screen
(per a suggestion I read else where), but that to didn't change anything.
I am at a loss and haven't found anything of any help in the MS KB.
Does anyone have any ideas?
