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

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.
