Goto control panel, user accounts, change the way users log on and off.

I think you guys dint understand what i was trying to say.

What I want to do is after the screensaver is deactivated, i dont want to
password protect it.. I want to directly go to the windows login screen and
use the user defined password in the login screen. ( Not the screensaver
password).

I had done it before on the previous desktop, but not on this laptop.

yes, the screensaver password is same as windows login password. But the
diff is that.. when screensaver password is activated a dialog window comes
up and i dont want to set it that way. Now if a guest wants to logon, he/she
cant .. until and unless you(administrator) take it to the windows login
screen and login as guest.

I hope you get my point.

You need to enable "Use Fast User Switching" and "Use the Welcome
Screen" to do this.

Go to User Accounts in the Control Panel and select "Change the way
users Log on or off", then make the appropriate changes.

There is third as well, if the user has replaced msgina.dll file with a
third party file, the Fast User switching may not be available.
