User accounts problem - Page 3

Get rid of that welcome screen now and get used to logging in properly, and the options when you press CTRL+ALT+DEL (and Windows Key+L to quick lock your screen). You'll soon know how to keep them out

Will do

How spookily random. Just forgot and loaded up the control panel applet, and it works.
I haven't done anything to my windows install :s It's like magic

Or just a reboot fixed it.

Haly · 17-09-2006, 00:24

Nah I tried that last time round, and I know when I checked briefly about 2 weeks ago that it still didn't work.
Ah well, it works now, all that matters

Just setup your user account on XP with a password then press the "windows key" + L - it'll lock your computer. It's not automated (unlike setting the screensaver to come on after a few minutes) but it works.

Doh. I should read the thread first. I hate the "windows welcome screen" - yuck.

Windows Key+L works with the welcome screen as well. Handy.

That's what I'm doing

Although my flatmates hardly know a thing about PCs so not vital
