i want to have my sreen open to my desktop picture after sleep mode in widows 7 home
I have windows 7 home edition and I am the only user. After closing the computer lid and it goes to sleep, I want to just go to my desk top instead of having to click on my user name. It seems very simple, but not for me. iron river, wis

Hi, If the issue only occurs after waking up from sleep, the issue can be caused by the Power Options settings. Let's try the suggestions below to see if the issue can be resolved. 1. Please go to Start button, click Control Panel and then click "Power Options". 2. Click "Require a password on wakeup" on the left pane. 3. Choose "Don't require a password" under "Password protection on wakeup" and then click "Save changes" button. If the settings cannot be changed, please click "Change settings that are currently unavailable". In addition, if you would like to log on to Windows without using a password when starting up the computer, we can remove the user account password by the steps below: 1. Go to Control Panel, click User Accounts. 2. Click Remove your password. 3. Type the current password and then click Remove Password button. Once the password is removed, please go to "control userpasswords2" to remove "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" option. Hope this helps Vincent Wang TechNet Community Support
