XP Help

Post by DemonPostalWorker »

Before you guys jump down my throat with buildxp, this has nothing to do with games. How do you set your computer up to log off and have programs run in the backround, such as chat programs etc? I know it can be done, but I cant figure it out, everytime I log off the programs close. I am running Windows XP Pro X64 Edition (Full Version, not alphas/beta's RC's)

You need to hit Log off -> switch users (do not hit Log off the second time)

Also, in your screensaver page, you can set it to go to the welcome screen after the screensaver is activated.

Also, WinKey+L is a shortcut to do the same thing.

Oh yeah, and make sure the "Fast User Switching" service is running
