Hi all,

I just started experiencing a problem I've never had before in XP. I bought
a new hard drive, installed XP, and now when my aquarium screensaver kicks in
after so many minutes, when I come back to close the screensaver, and want to
use the computer again, the screensaver closes, but now for some reason my
computer has gone back to the XP logon screen, where I have to select either
my administrator account or limited account, and enter the appropriate
password, to get back to the screen I was working on before the screensaver
started up.

I never had this issue in the past with XP.

Anyone know what's kicking XP back to the logon screen whenever my
screensaver kicks in?

I can't find any settings to turn this situation off?

Thanks for any support in advance.

FYI, that's "On resume, display welcome screen".

Thanks. Since there is no other checkbox regarding that tab, the OP
should have found that option anyway. ;)

Thanks Dedlev Dreyer,

Classic case of having gone to that setting page a million times, and have
always rushed into the screen saver settings options, never looking at what
was right there in front of me staring me in the face, "return to welcome
screen at resume".

You saved the day, I owe you a cold one if that's your fancy.

You're certainly welcome, Robert.
