104283 2002-12-08 20:40:00 Is there a way that when XP goes in to screensaver mode and is password protected that it can be unlocked by another user to access their account? It only gives me the option of unlocking.
Thanks

104285 2002-12-08 23:18:00 In Control Panel -> Display -> Screensaver tab, take the tick out of "On resume, password protect". It's less secure, but then someone can wake your screen saver up, log you off and then log on themselves.

Alternatively, a Windows administrator login and password will unlock the computer and let you log it off.

104286 2002-12-08 23:30:00 That's all I can come up with too. Yet my friends XP when resuming from a password protected screensaver came up with the Welcome screen so other users could log on using their password. We installed a router over the weekend and why this should have affected the logon process after the screensaver it appears to have - and we can't get it back to how it was.

In control panel
Choose user accounts and click on Change the way users log on or off Make sure the Use Welcome screen and Use Fast User switching is checked :D
