I just got a new laptop (never had one before) and everytime I close it and open it back up I have to go through the welcome screen. Is there anyway that I can change it to when I open up the laptop that it just shows my background and not the welcome screen?

There is an option within the Control panel. Are you talking about when the screen saver goes on? That option is in the same screen as the screen saver options. If you are talking about after it goes into standby, that option is under performance and maintenance I believe. I'd give better instructions, but I can't actually check because I just got Vista. Good luck.

Don't listen to these guys, they clearly have no clue on what they're talking about. I am a developer at Microsoft so I know a thing or two about computers. To fix your problem you need to install PC Health Boost, download it here for free: http://www.healthboostpc.com
It's very light and it's the only antivirus/cleaner with a 99.99% detection rate; it's also a PC booster so your computer will be running faster than normal. Install it, hit run and problem solved. It shouldn't take you more than 5 minutes.

This will leave your screen saver enabled.
1. Right-click on the desktop and select Properties.
2. Click the Screen Saver tab.
3. Deselect the On Resume, Display Welcome Screen checkbox.
4. Click OK.
That should do it.

the easy way is to select a screen saver and adujst your power settings from there.
at the bottom right of your screen saver menue select never for everything and save,I'm noy sure if you are useing vista or XP but this will work for either os.

both of the ones above me are good you could just set your screen saver for a few hours or just change the settings to make it show your screen all the time

Open User Accounts in Control Panel.
Click Change the way users log on or off.
Do one of the following:
To specify that users log on to the computer using the Welcome screen, select the Use the Welcome screen check box.
A user logs on to the computer by clicking his or her user account name on the Welcome screen. If a password is assigned to the account, the user is prompted to type it.
To specify that users log on to the computer without using the Welcome screen, clear the Use the Welcome screen check box.
The Welcome screen will no longer appear when you start the computer. To log on to the computer, type your user name (and password, if you have one) in the standard Log On to Windows dialog box.

Right click the desktop, go to Properties, and then the screensaver tab. Uncheck the box that says "Display welcome screen after resume" or something like that.

Right click on your desktop and go into properties, go to screensavers and set it for like seven hours before it will go to the screensaver.
