XP Log On

[Peter]

I am using XP at home and have each member of the family
setup as a user. Is there anyway of stopping the screen
reverting to the log on screen when I leave the computer
for a few minutes? It is most frustrating when you have to
go through the log on process each time.
Thank you

Peter,

Sounds like your screen saver is kicking in and the option for requiring a
password is turned on. The setting is in the Display Properties control
panel > Screen Saver tab. There is a check box for On Resume, password
protect.

Hi Peter,

Right click on the desktop and select properties. Flip to the screensaver
tab and uncheck "On resume, password protect".
