is there a way i can automatically set my laptop to require the windows user password to be re-entered after coming out of standby mode, without actually logging off? a bit like it does when the screensaver comes on!

Thanks
Fergal

A quick look suggests that if you go to Control Panel>User Accounts>Change the way Users log on and off, you can then select the Windows classic option.


Might be yer answer, but I've not had a chance to check.

 

Mine does this automatically anyway.

Unless I set it a while back.Will have a gander at the settings.

Edit: OK, just checked.This is with XP Pro:

Right-click desktop
Properties
ScreenSaver tab
Power Button
Advanced tab
Select the 'Prompt for password when computer resumes from standby' option.

 

By George, I think he's got it !!!

 

bit more complicated for me, had to go into the toshiba power saver console and find it, but think i found it, so its cool. have yet to try it yet, keep you posted!
