With the user accounts on my computer if someone leaves there's on adn the screen goes to screensaver, or then long enough to hibernate, when we go back on it goes to the user account who last left it on. Just want to know if theres a way to set it so say if I left my user aco**** on and then it went to screensave that when I moved the mouse it would go to the switch user screen. So my account can still be logged on about it will show the user aco****s screen when I move the mouse/wake up computer.
Thanks:)

Really? Damn with Vista if I left my account on and the screensaveer came on when I went back and moved the mouse instead of going to the last screen myaccount was on it would go to the user account screen and act like I clicked switch user during screensaver

I do not use a screen saver. When not in use my monitor goes into save mode. 30 minutes later my computer goes to sleep. When I return, I touch any key and my account is back. No signing in.

Yes, it has been an ongoing argument since monitors were first invented. Screen savers are pretty, but "screen saving" they do NoT. In fact, in many cases, the screen is more active in that mode than with normal useage.
Best screen saver is sleep or hibernate mode.

I have just set up another user account, and switched on my screensaver. When I move my mouse, I do get a screen with a "Switch user" icon. If I click this, I get a new screen with all my user icons showing??

This is actually what I use but I assumed the black screen is still called a screen saver lol. I guess it's worked out then, because I don't have a screensaver it doesn't automatically switch user if someone on this computer leaves their account on. Sounds right??
