some sort of problems
« on: August 14, 2006, 05:02:41 AM »
This is the situation:

My pc in the House (no internet, not possible) Have 2 accnts.
Me as Admin with passwordand the other user is my wife with password also.
If it is playing WMP it will not get to screensaver (thats fine)

The problem is (if it is problem):
When the pc is turn on and not using it will go to screensaver on the time set.
But when i want to use it back (move the mouse) it will go to the starting window, and i must click my account and enter my password (log on) again to go back to normal windows. how can i stop that and i must not need to log on again without turning of screensavers?


Thanks in advance

infoseeker...

Right-click on your desktop, select "Properties" from the menu, select the "Screensaver" tab, uncheck "On resume, password protect".  Save your changes...

This should take care of your problem.

Uncheck the box "On resume..."

Click Apply or OK.  Now test it.

Infoseeker...

In your original post you wanted to turn off the password protection...now you want it back on...

Be advised...you are not password protecting your screensaver, but your logon when Windows resumes from the screensaver mode.

If you want to password protect your computer after the screensaver has started...do this:

1) Go to "Display Properties".
2)  Click the "Screensaver" tab.
3)  Click the "Power" button.
4)  Click the "Advanced" tab.
5)  Check the box that reads "Prompt for password when computer resumes from standby".
6)  Click "Apply" or "OK".
7)  Then check or un-check the box that reads "On resume, password protect".

That last box will determine whether or not you want to password protect your computer when it resumes from the screensaver mode.
