Problem with Vista Home Basic (Fast Switching)
I'm tidying up my mums laptop.
After removing unwanted files I ran a defrag, I disabled the screensaver etc.
But within 5 minutes the system went into the fast switching screen.
I have spent the best part of an hour searching on who to spot vista doing this and leaving the screen for me to see the defrag process.
I only use XP and don't know vista, I googled and it came up with gpedit.msc, but this is not available with my mum version of vista.
Any ideas please.

There should be a icon in the tray which shows battery/pluggin in. Right click it should have an option for Power Management

Re: Problem with Vista Home Basic (Fast Switching)
I cannot see anything in the power management system that would tell it to "logout"

It's not logging out though, It's a security thing
