Windows does not return to the log in screen
Greetings!
I have a few users on one of my WinXP Pro machines. When one user in particular goes to log off, Windows saves the settings, and returns to that users Desktop background, but no icons. It never return to the log in screen, and although the mouse still moves, nothing happens with left or right click, and nothing happens with CTRL-ALT-DEL. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!

Hi Rob,
Sorry to take months getting back to you. I lost where this post was. None of the accounts are password protected, and when Windows starts, it goes to the Welcome Screen. Also, it seems to take some time for this to happen. If I start the computer, log into this account, and log off, everything works fine. If I wait for an hour or so, then it will malfunction. Thanks for the help! Dave "roboco302" wrote: "radicalx" wrote: Greetings! I have a few users on one of my WinXP Pro machines.
