Password protected screensaver

[Guest]

I have a minor irritation. I downloaded a windows xp update and now when the
screensaver comes on it takes me to the welcome screen to log back on. It
used to just take me to the log-on. This computer is used by 3 people and
none of them like this as it takes "extra time" to click on the icon and then
type in the password.

When I right-click on the desktop and go to properties, screensaver instead
of it saying "On resume, password protect" beside the check box it says "On
resume, Display welcome screen" It used to say the former.

Can anyone help me? I would appreciate it.

Go to your User Accounts in the Control Panel (Start > Control panel, on left
side of the menu) Then select Change the way users log on and off.
DISABLE fast user switching. IF it is already disable try disabling Use
welcome screen. THis will make you log on unsing the ugly classic
username/password log in instead of the colored welcome screen.

If youre more advanced you could disable the Fast User Switching service in
Administrative tools > Services. Dont mess with that if you dont know what
youre doing
