What's the registry tweak to uncheck Prompt for password when computer resumes from standby? You get to this by right clicking the desktop, properties, screen saver tab, power, then the advanced tab.

I used a program called RegShot 1.7 (freeware)

and it changed the following keys.. but their all in hex so i don't know which key it changed exactly...

HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Power\AcPolicy
HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Power\DcPolicy


HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Power\AcPolicy
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Power\DcPolicy


HKU\S-1-5-21-870225061-1445459439-3086568671-1005\Control Panel\PowerCfg\GlobalPowerPolicy\Policies

not sure how much this will help ya since the values are in Hex..

btw you can download Regshot here if you wanna try and figure this out. just take a shot before the change then make the change and take the second shot then compare...

I know. I use Reg Shot. That's what I'm confused about!

Incorrect

That didn't work.

Incorrect Policy no longer works

OOps that Policy don't work anymore either

I just done another with Installwatch

I must have been looking at something else the first time

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"ScreenSaverIsSecure"="1"

I can turn it on and go to reg and set to a 0 and open and look again and its off

If you want it off set that to a 0

This did it!

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\PowerCfg\GlobalPowerPolicy]

"Policies"=hex:01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,10,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,03,\

00,00,00,10,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,03,00,\

00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,01,00,00,\

00,00,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,04,00,00,c0,01,00,00,00,\

04,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,0a,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,01,00,01,00,01,\

00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,\

00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,00,\

00,10,00,00,00

The 10 on the last line was a 14. That's all I changed.

Well thats exactly what i posted first time you said didn't work. I just didn't add all the hex stuff.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\PowerCfg\GlobalPowerPolicy]

"Policies"=hex:

But anyways the other method works also.

This disables the welcome screen when your computer resumes from the screensaver.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]

"NoAutoReturnToWelcome"="1"

"ScreenSaverIsSecure"="0"

The previous tweak I posted is for when it resumes from standby.
