Hi Wesley:
The Power Options are identical for both machines:
Power Setting: "Always On"
Prompt for password when computer resumes from standby is checked.
Both machines are desktop machines never very seldom turned off.
However, the user configuration is very different between the two machines:
On resume, password protect: 1 user (computer administrator) with Guest
turned ON.
On resume, Welcome Screen: 4 users (1 CA, 3 limited accounts) with Guest
turned ON.
Thanks.
