I was wondering if anyone can help me make it so that when I go idle and when I come back it takes me to the Windows XP login screen and I just click my username and it restores my stuff the way I had it. Say I go idle for 20 minutes and I come back, I want to make it so that I see the Windows XP login screen that I get when I first turn on my computer.

Check the Display Properties -> Screen Saver tab. Make sure "On resume, display Welcome screen" is checked.

I only have "On resume, password protect" How do I get to choose Welcome Screen?

I think what you are looking for is the fast user switching option in the user account section of the control panel.

It doesn't work. I enabled Fast Switching and I restarted but I still get the "On resume, password protect" And no display Windows XP Screen.

What service pack level is your XP install?

Is it XP Home or Pro?

Tubui,

go to:

Display Properties --> Screen Saver --> Power --> PowerSchemes Tab --> from the dropdown list select "system standby" in 20 mins..

That should do it..

XP Pro SP1

And N1K, it doesn't work. It is 20 mins standby and it still doesn't say "On resume, display welcome screen"

Anyone else got ideas?

If you press Windows-L, do you get the welcome screen?

Yes I do but now how do I make it so that on the Screensaver > Display tab, I make it so that it says "On resume, display welcome screen" when idle?
