Vista - Welcome Screen on Wakeup

My wife and I use the same laptop, but have different accounts. Currently, we have the power options on the laptop set to go to sleep when the lid is closed, which has been working great. We have also activated the password required on wakeup option, so we can select the appropriate account on wakeup.

Here's the problem: on wakeup, the computer shows only the most recent user's account icon. We'd like it if the computer could show both user account icons without having the trouble of clicking on "Switch User". Any solutions?

Thanks!

Hello Andrew, and welcome to Vista Forums.

Sorry, but the only other option is to log out before closing the laptop lid.


An alternative, would be to have Vista require you to enter a username and password at logon instead.

Logon with Username and Password

Hope this helps,
