tubui Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 (edited) 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.Title edited -- Please, use [TAGS] in your topic's title.Please follow XP Forum Rules from now on.--Sonic Edited May 11, 2006 by tubui Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODC Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Check the Display Properties -> Screen Saver tab. Make sure "On resume, display Welcome screen" is checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snafumaster Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 I think what you are looking for is the fast user switching option in the user account section of the control panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
