On our XP Home laptop I have 2 users on the welcome screen, while my admin

account uses (ctrl alt del) x2.



All is fine until it goes into standby when I am in admin. Then on wake up

the welcome screen comes back, but (ctrl alt del) x2 does nothing. I can't

see a way to get back into my account without rebooting. Is there another

way (opening one of the other accounts is as slow as rebooting)?



Cheers,



S

Probably the only way is to disable the standby mode and make it lock

the desktop after a certain period of time (meaning you will have to

re-enter the admin password to get back to your desktop).



I had a similar issue where if I clicked on one account name, then

click on another my cursor would never show up so I couldn't type the

password in and had to use the ctrl+alt+delx2 to login.

Thanks,

Have disabled standby, but how do I make it lock the desktop?
