Re: "Turn Off Computer" When Exiting From Screen Saver

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:lb-dnePJz5ldKf_ZnZ2dnUVZ_v6dnZ2d@xxxxxxxxxxx,
M and D <m_and_d@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
I can exit out of my screen saver by moving my mouse. Most of the time,
this brings me right back to the desktop without a problem. But
sometimes, when I exit my screen saver, Windows XP will display the "Turn
off computer" message and I have to click on the Cancel button to get rid
of it. And sometimes the "Turn off computer" message will reappear, so I
have to click on Cancel again. On occasion I've had to cancel the "Turn
off computer" message several times before I can finally get back to
work.

How can I fix this? Seems to me XP shouldn't display the "Turn off
computer" message when I exit my screen saver. Thanks for any help.

Steven
