Just remember the WinAero article if ever the logon [LOCK] screen comes
back. It's a good feature for phones but utterly useless for desktops...


That's a rather sweeping statement. Depends on how you use your
computer, if you have more than one user profile and/or use it for real
work with sensitive information...logon/lock is required for my business.


My bad, I meant the LOCK screen, not the LOGON screen (damn these so
similar terms!) The LOCK screen is just there to show you nice pictures,
the time of day, news snipets, etc. When you then press a key it goes
away and the real LOGON screen appears. I agree, the LOGON screen is
required, but not the LOCK screen...


I just configured it to show one of MY images, rather than having MS
pester me "you you like this picture" bs.

Take care,
