For reasons that I cannot explain, my laptop suddenly changed to a protocol
similar to what I am used to in the office on my non-laptop machine, where it
asks for my password to get in and gives me a selection to sign out where I
am asked to choose among restarting, hibernating, starting with a new
password, etc. I did not knowingly change anything on my laptop to cause it
to do this, and I would like to go back to the way it was before. Any ideas?
Thanks a lot.

Somehow, your laptop has turned off the 'Use Welcome Screen..' and
reverted to the old "classic" Windows 2000 login screen.

Click on;

1- Start
2- Control Panel
3- User Accounts
4- Change the way users log on or off
5- Make sure a Checkmark is in the square box next to "Use the Welcome
Screen"
