I had a similar issue with trying to get the monitor to come up after it auto shuts off due to inactivity. I found that by giving it the ctrl-alt-del salute and then hitting esc it woke up the monitor.
That Tweakui problem is weird - I used it to do the same thing for years on my XP systems and never saw that. Is fast user switching disabled? I always had that off, maybe it makes a difference. I know under Vista/Win7 you enable autologon a different way, by going through the advanced user accounts settings and turning off "users must enter a login/password". That might be the ultimate setting that TweakUI is accessing, although I'm not sure. --------------------------- Brian Weeden Technical Advisor Secure World Foundation <http://www.secureworldfoundation.org> +1 (514) 466-2756 Canada +1 (202) 683-8534 US On Mon, Jun 8, 2009 at 4:50 PM, Steve Tomporowski <didym...@gmail.com>wrote: > I've got three minor problems with XP that aren't show stoppers but > annoying. > > First, I mentioned this in a previous message to the list.
