How to get welcome screen after screen saver

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

Hi,

Do you have a password for the account. If there is a password then Windows
cannot resume without entering the password. if there is no password then
windows returns to the welcome screen and executes it and u dont see this
happening.

Go to the control panel and set up a password for your account.

I have this same problem only I do have a password for my account and i am
computer admin. I believe this change from "on resume, show welcome screen"
to "on resume, password protect" happened from a windows update recently. I
found this out because I didnt like the "on resume, password protect" eaither
and wanted the old option so i went back to Restore computer to monday when
the switch occured on tuesday the same day i downloaded windows media player
10 and some other security patch i think from the update site. So as i was
reinstalling stuff i lost from the System Restore and i went to do the
drivers the first thing and then i checked the option and it changed...so i
am looking for a solution to.
