    I can't seem to figure this out. I know I know how I am just drawing a blank here. I want to change the settings on my HP lappy so that I can open and close it without having to re-login every time I open it up. Can anyone help me out with this.

    Thanks

    Start -> Type "Power Options" in the search bar -> Choose what closing the lid does

    Select "Don't require a password" and you're done.

    thanks like I said I knew it but I kept typing security options instead of power options so I could not find the screen. Thanks again

    No such thing as a stupid question, at least from the perspective of the person asking it. :)

    It's always better to ask a stupid question rather than make a stupid mistake, at least that's what they told me as they handed me the pink slip. :eek:
