Password Protected Screensaver - On Resume - Display Welcome Screen
Jul 7, 2005I have a minor irritation. I downloaded a windows xp update and now when the screensaver comes on it takes me to the welcome screen to log back on. It used to just take me to the log-on. This computer is used by 3 people and none of them like this as it takes "extra time" to click on the icon and then type in the password. When I right-click on the desktop and go to properties, screensaver instead of it saying "On resume, password protect" beside the check box it says "On resume, Display welcome screen" It used to say the former.

Sep 16, 2008I recently started college not too long ago and I've been having a little issues with the security of my Gateway laptop running Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack II. I would like to enable the prompt for password feature when returning from a screen saver. However, when I go into the options, the only thing I can check is 'On resume, display welcome screen'. I've searched around a bit more but can't seem to find anything.
View 5 Replies View RelatedOn Resume Pasword Protect / On Resume Display Welcome Screen
Sep 29, 2004I have read dozens of threads containing similar questions.Let me explain what I did, and what my system is now doing. I only have one user account (my own) besides the disabled guest account, and the hidden admin and hidden asp.net account. For over
two years, my system was fine. It always went back to the welcome screen when the screen saver kicks in and I just click my name, type my password, and am back in.
Computer screen saver kicks in, when I go to log back in, it brings up the classic 2k looking UNLOCK screen. I went back to the screen saver settings and reset them back to the default, but no luck. Since this has happened, I noticed 2 things. My screen saver settings now display ON RESUME, PASSWORD PROTECT instead of the ON RESUME, DISPLAY WELCOME SCREEN. Also, about half the time I am on my home PC, its tunneled in to it from work via REMOTE DESKTOP CONNECTION. Previously, when I would minimize my connection and work locally here at work, if the screen saver at home had time to come on, when I click to maximize my home PC, I could tell that the screen saver was running, and it would immediately refresh and bring me back to my
desktop assuming that since it was set to ON RESUME, DISPLAY WELCOME SCREEN and since that would not be a possible thing connected via RDC, it just turned the screen saver off and I was ready to work.
Now, when I am tunneled in, when the screen saver comes on and I go back to my home PC session, it brings up the UNLOCK PC prompt and requires me to logon. Everything I have read about this says that the reason it is doing this is because I only have one user account setup.
Removing "prompt For Password On Resume" Globally?
Jul 18, 2005I have multiple users on one machine. The PC is constantly going on standby and locking them out. I have set the power settings for several users, but i cannot set them for all.I have a script running that resets the power configuration to "always on" in the registry, but it does not overwrite the standy and hard disk settings under power management. If they are set to 15 minutes, it stays at 15 minutes even if the cofiguration is changed from Home to Always on.
Also I cannot have the password on resume unchecked by default for all users. It has to be manually done. I ahave triied registry and GPEdit settings for all of these but no joy.
Password Window At Startup ?
Dec 2, 2007I'm not sure what happened, but up til a few days ago when I would boot up my computer, it would go straight to the desktop screen.when I boot it up a window pops up asking me to enter a password. I've never set up my computer to take passwords. I'm the only one that's ever used this computer. So I just click OK and only then does it go to the desktop.

View 7 Replies View RelatedRun Tasks On Resume From Hibernation
Aug 15, 2005I've been looking for a way to ensure that a specific task runs after my desktop resumes from hibernation. Initially, I'd hoped for something akin to the "Run at user logon" or "Run at startup" optionsavailable in the schedule tab of a scheduled task, but there is no setting for "Run at resume from standby/hibernation"
Restore a VPN connection after the computer's network capabilities are restored on resuming from hibernation. This is important because I have to occasionally wake thesystem from offsite using its Wake-On-LAN NIC. I've tried setting up a scheduled task to run at start-up and user logon which uses RASDIAL to dial the appropriate VPN connection, but this connection depends on the logged-in user's credentials, so it won't work at start-up. When set to have it run at user logon, it doesn't run when the computer comes out of hibernation.
Install Won't Resume After Reboot
Jul 21, 2009I've installed XP many times and this is the first time this has happened to me. After XP copyies the files and reboots it wants to reload the cd which, of course, I ignore. Then it just hangs or, ultimately, gives the message, "Operating system not found." I tried the installation with only the one drive connected and tried installing it to a single partition on that drive.

Aug 9, 2005I've never been able to resume the computer from hibernation, which is a feature I really miss. As this is OEM software Microsoft won't support it, although they provided me with this hotfix http://support.microsoft.com/defau [...] -us;815304
which I thought would help because it seemed to be the problem, but doesn't.
The computer hibernates or goes into standbye without any problems or errors, but never resumes. The screen gets all black, although I get the mouse's arrow moving.
Sometimes my desktop background appears, sometimes it then disappears.Once it went to the login screen, but was really slow. All of this ends up with me having to hold down the power button until the computer shuts down.I've tried disabling hibernation, restarts, re-enable hibernation, restart... and so on.I've also run disk defragmenter and disk cleanup. I've read anything possible, looked at the BIOS

View 6 Replies View RelatedNo Sound Effects For Suspend - Resume
Apr 8, 2008It's time for another cosmetic XP tweaking question.In the out-of-the-box install, Windows XP on my notebook PC had this nifty feature I loved -- closing the lid to suspend operation, then opening it back up and hitting the power button to resume. It played this two-note piano melody when I did so, and then a more upbeat tune when I clicked on my avatar icon to get back to my desktop.I've since reinstalled XP several times. Right now it does the exact same thing that it used to, but without the cheerful piano sounds. How can I get them to come back? Kind of a silly question, I know, but they really did brighten my day.

Jul 6, 2005Occasionally when my systems screensaver kicks in, it normally would take me back to the log-on user screen, which is fine. The problem is that sometimes it does it TWICE, meaning, i go out of the screensaver typein the user password and soon as i log in the screensaver kicks back in as if i never touched it and then i have to type the user pass again. This isn't something critical but its annoying and it takes time. Unfortunately disabling the resume in the log on screen isn't an option because I don't want people to log on under my name or use the comp under it should i leave my officer for a bit.

Jun 7, 2006When resuming from hibernate or standby it made a clunking noise like it was trying to find something and then displays: Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to Restart. Sometimes it worked, others not. I then found that it was displaying the NTLDR error so I backed up everything did a destructive recovery and started doing all the new updates for Windows, etc. Seemed to be working fine and then I added two additional hard drives (one for backup and the other for recording TV). I sent it to hibernate and the next day I tried to startup and couldn't get the OS to load at all. I finally did a recovery to one of the other hard drives. I did all the updates, added some new programs and set Media Center to record. I put the machine in hibernate and left. When I returned the machine was on and the TV recording was executed as programmed. I put the machine in hibernate again last night and when I awoke the machine was running. I had not set a recording so I'm wondering why it would spontaneously restart for no apparent reason.

Jan 15, 2006My account on my computer (Win XP Pro SP2) is an Administrator account. Over a year ago, I got tired of entering my password because I an the only person that uses this computer. I did something so it would boot without the password screen appearing ( I don't remember what, but I think I left the password line blank).
Since the computer boots directly to my account, I am never prompted to enter a password; but if I use Power Options (and the computer sleeps), it wakes to the login screen and I cannot reenter my account. I have to reboot. On the login screen, I have tried leaving the password blank and entering every password I use, but I get an Invalid Password response.
