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

Look, find another target for your condescension. I'm not going to waste any more time on these newsgroups.

Pat yourself on the back Mr. MVP. You won.

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

You are correct.

The first thing that I should have asked was, "Do you have a four year old?"

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.
