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

Shouldn't you have asked some questions instead of presuming to know how I setup my computer?

The problem turned out to be a program installed in my 4-year old's account that was not closing properly, which in turn prevented his account from logging off properly. I had to uninstall and reinstall the program to fix the problem.

Good luck to you.

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.]]

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.
