Somewhat stupid Windows XP question.

Neon_Sonic · Dec 2, 2004

Whenever I "awaken" my PC from standby mode, it goes back to my desktop. I'd like to set it so that it will go back to the login screen. Can anyone tell me how I can do this?

Thanks in advance.

Go to your screensaver settings and click require authentication (password required).

I think that's what you mean?

I think all you have to do is set yourself up as a user and it will do this.

Do you have a user set up?

I think he's looking to lock it... depending on setup, it may not require a password.

That works, assuming there are more than one user setup on the machine and that it doesn't log in automatically to a single user.

So you need to make sure you do both of the above recommendations.

All computer questions are stupid. Don't you know? You're supposed to know everything about computers if you're under 35.
