Question XP screensaver

Have 2 accounts on my PC.If not using after a few minutes,the Monitor goes on,I guess standby with the ,I guess a screen saver thingy, then you have to click on a name to get back to your desk top(after you move the mouse).I know it is no big deal but any way to bypass that.Besides putting PC back to only one user???Thanks

Go to your desktop, right click and go to properties. Then go to the Screensaver tab, then increase the amount of time it takes to go to the screensaver.

If you're worried about wasting power that way, click on the 'Power...' button on the same tab, and change the Turn off monitor setting to what you want.

Display Properties.

On the screen saver tab uncheck the box that says "on resume, display welcome screen" on both accounts
