Howto get screensaver to resume to "welcome screen", not "logon screen"

Posted: 01-03-2009, 01:01 AM

In XP, the behavior I had when resuming from a screensaver was to go to
the "welcome screen" - the screen with icons for all the users of the
system. There was a checkbox on XP "On resume, display Welcome Screen"
in the screensaver settings to enable this.

This is what I want on Vista

Instead, in Vista Business, my screensaver settings show "On resume,
display the Logon Screen", not the "Welcome Screen". Resuming from the
screensaver brings me to the page to enter the user's password (the
"Logon Screen"), not the page to select a user (the "Welcome Screen").

This machine is used by six different users constantly throughout the
day, in almost every circumstance when a user is resuming from the
screensaver, it is a different user than was previously on. The default
XP behavior was ideal.

How do I get this behavior in Vista?
