some sort of problem

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

WHat is happening is that the screensaver is acting as a time out and locking your computer when it runs to prevent malicious use.

Goto your Display Properties and select the screensaver tab

Untick the box labeled 'On Resume Password Protect'

That should sort it out.

If the computer is on a domain Policies form the server may not let you do this.

 

Thanks matt.chugg i will check that again
Because so far i remeber, i tried that thinng yesterday but cant find it in screensaver tab, but i will try again this evening.

OK if your computer is on its own don't worry about it, If your in a corporate environment or something and logon using Active Directory the Servers Polocies can overide the workstations so that you have no choice about some settings.

You don't need to worry about this as you are not on a domain.

This is where the setting is on XP on other Operating Systems you may have to look in the settings for the screensaver

 

but this one i got?
what i must do?
