Screen blanker - how to remove logon - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

flat5 · 10-02-2006, 04:53 AM

WinXP used to blank the screen after 10 minutes of no keyboard/mouse activity.
This is fine with me.

Now, after an install of something - I don't know what -
a logon is needed to restore activity after a screen blank.
This is not only anoying but interfers with some programs.

I have not found a string to enter into Google to fix this -
to remove the logon after a screen blank.

Can someone help, please.

BTW, this did not help:

* Select Run from the Start Menu, type control userpasswords2,
and click Ok.
* Turn off the Users must enter a user name and password to use
this computer option, and click Ok.

To remove the logon after the screen saver comes up, right click on your desktop, then click properties. On the properties screen, click the Screen Saver tab. You should see a check box that says "On resume, display Welcome screen". If I understand your problem, this should probably take care of it. :

You understand perfectly, glytch!
I will do what you suggest when I get home.
Thank you very much.

glytch, The box was not checked.
It seems when I used regedit and put a zero where there was already a zero
in two places, it changed something somewhere. The problem went away.
By the time I checked your suggestion the problem was gone.
Maybe if I had tried your suggestion first I would have found a check in the box.
