For some reason when I leave my computer idle, it no longer defaults back to
the user account screen so my password in needed to log back on as the
administrator. I have looked for help and was told to go tot he user account
screen and click on the advanced tab. My problem is that when I open the
user accounts screen there is no advanced tab to click on. Any help is
appreciated. I'm running XP professional and have installed SP2.

thanks

Control Panel, Power Options app, see checkbox for "prompt for password..." on Advanced tab.
