xp screensaver password prompt

[data switch]

Well I'm not really sure what I did, but now when I move the mouse to make the screensaver come up, instead of prompting for a password, it goes back to the windows logon page. I am still logged on, so all my programs stay there. But I like it better when it just asked for the password. Does anyone know how to change this?

just go into the screensaver settings, and uncheck the setting for going to the logon screen. Forgot what its called tho.

right click on the desktop and click properties. it'll bring up the display properties window, click the screen saver tab and uncheck "On resume, password protect"

In XP, there isn't a specific password on the screensavers like there was in 9x. It basically either locks the machine when it goes to screensaver, or doesn't ask for a password at all.

If you want to turn it off, the checkbox to uncheck is "On resume, display Welcome screen".
