I just realized that it's not the screensaver. I find the lock screen is up whenever it comes up from standby (and I think a fresh boot, though I've not tried to reproduce that yet.) Since I put it in standby a lot rather than shutting it down, I see it a lot. and it just started. I've looked at the power settings and don't see anything there that look as if they would account for it. -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." ------------------------------ Matthew 7:21 (niv) -----------------------------
