Do you mean you want the screensaver to log the person out,
and not just lock the computer?
If so, you can install winexit.scr screensaver from the
Windows 2000 Resource Kit. That works pretty well.

problem where my screen saver -password protection- resumes
to a password protected locked screen. I need the computer
to resume to the welcome screen so that guest users have
access to the computer. Below is what Doug had me check.
With no results.

Unfortunately, I'm out of ideas at this point. The only
remaining option is to click Start, Run and enter CONTROL
USERPASSWORDS2 Go to the Advanced tab. Is the Require
Users to press CTRL-ALT-DEL box checked under Secure Logon?
If so, uncheck it. If its greyed out, click Start, Run
and enter REGEDIT Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system
In the right pane, look for DisableCAD. Double click this
value and set it to 0 (zero)

AllowMultipleTSSessions and LogonType. Both of these

>Doug,
>I have my screen saver set to "on resume, password
protect". Prior to a week ago the computer would
re-activate to the welcome screen so that my unprotected
guest account was accessible. Without me making any changes
(maybe an automatic security update?) the computer now
re-activates to a locked screen that requires my password.
