Click Start >> Control Panel >> Doubel click User Accounts.
On the user accounts select the user you want to apply this to and uncheck
this check box:

[ ] Use welcome screen

Click [ Apply Options ] Button and you are out of the user accounts UI.
Reboot your machine, does it represent you with the WS?

Autologon for Windows v2.10- Bypass password screen during logon.

'When XP is started after the screensaver" is fairly obvious in its
meaning..

Yes, OP was unclear with: "When XP is started aftr the screen saver has been
on..." I took it as meaning, "When I go back to using XP from a
screensaver...", ie it *is* just for the screensaver.

Only Kate knows for sure what she was trying to achieve. Let's see if we
hear back....

I didn't mean to correct you but I thought your solution is the best for
her as I misunderstood her Question.
As it seems she after disbaling the Password after resuming from Screensaver
as Mike hall kindly Highlighted.

Thank you for helping me. I am sorry about the confusion. I was trying to say
after using the computer for a while then stopping whatever I was doing to
answer the phone or coffee break when I come back to the computer the screen
saver is on. When trying to resume I was getting a "I must enter a password
to restart". I followed the posted instructions and the password is now a
thing of the past. Thank You again for the help. This was starting to wear on
my last good nerve.
 
Glad you sorted it out and sorry for my misreading your question!
And thanks for the feedback and letting us know your issue been resolved.
NOTE for future refernce don't include your Email in open public newsgroup
