Dear Users,
I have my computer to skip my login screen and go directly to the desktop
when rebooting, but what bugging me is that after resuming from standby, I'm
taken to the typical user icon on the desktop which I have to click ( without
a password) in order to go to the desktop.
This behavior started after a fresh install of my system.
I'd appreciate your advice.

Arturo

Arturo,
Control Panel > Power Options
Look for a setting like this, which appears on my latop as:

/Power Save Modes\
[Details]
Properties
/System Power Mode\
[Y] Prompt for password when computer goes off standby or hibernate

Thanks, Mr. Grass; I'd always just assumed that was something I couldn't
do anything about!

(On this one, it's Control Panel, Power options, Advanced, Prompt for
password when computer resumes from standby.)

Britain is still a class-ridden society. As soon as a man opens his mouth, we
can tell in what sort of school he missed his education. (George Mikes, "How to
be Decadent" [1977].)
