I upgraded my computer a couple of years ago from 98SE to XP Pro. So, I have never used XP Home. Now, I have bought myself a second computer that has XP Home installed on it.
It is doing something really weird that I have never seen XP Pro do, so I don't know why it's doing it or how to stop it. But after the machine sits inactive for a few minutes and the screen saver comes on, when you sit down to use it again it has changed from showing your desktop to showing a login screen. I don't have multiple user accounts set up on it, but I have seen a Windows login screen for multiple users and this is the exact same screen. It has a button labeled "owners desktop" and I actually have to click that to get back to where I was before the screen saver.
This is very annoying to me, and doesn't make any sense. Is there any way to disable it or turn it off? I would love to know how.
Thank you.
