Re: Help with Folder Views and Logging in

Open a folder first, make whatever changes you want, then...
Click Tools | Click Folder Options | Click the View tab

Or just open a folder first, then...
Click Tools | Click Folder Options | Click the View tab

If you open Folder Options from Start | Run or from the Control Panel Apply
to All Folders button will not be available.


Start | Run | Type: powercfg.cpl | Click OK |
Advanced tab | UNCheck: Prompt for password
when computer resumes from standby | Click Apply

Or reinstall XP and then do the things listed above.

To get rid of the screen saver password.

Right click the Desktop | Properties | Screen Saver tab |
UNSelect the On resume, password protect check box.
If Fast User Switching is turned on, UNSelect the On resume, display Welcome
screen check box. | Click Apply | Click OK

On resume
[[Specifies whether the logon window is displayed when you resume using
the computer after the screen saver has started running. If logging on
requires a password, you will have to type the password when you resume
work.]]

In news:uYzsz9vaGHA.3408@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
T. Waters <someone@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
I just reinstalled XP on a new hard drive, and I am having trouble
configuring my Folder Views and Login.
As you can see in the attachment, the option to apply the current view to
all folders is greyed out. Perhaps I have chosen some option that makes
this happen? If, so, I have no idea what I have done to cause this
problem, or even if the problem is just a "windows misbehavior," but it
sure is annoying. Any way out of this, short of reinstalling XP?

Second, I somehow must have configured Windows Login so that I have to
click on my User Name every time the monitor goes to sleep. I want to
conserve power, but this is a real pain. I did not see an option in User
Accounts to get rid of this step, but I recall that it can be done. Any
assistance is greatly appreciated.
