I want a way to lock the laptop or require a login when I shut the lid...

I need background processes running which sleep doesn't allow and for some reason they seem to have taken away stand by...

So I need a way to do this

AND NO
SHUTING THE LID AND SETTING THE SCREEN SAVER TO REQUIRE A PASS ISN'T FUCKING GOOD ENOUGH

got fudgeing damn you get like 3000 threads like that on google It's annoying >.>

go to control panel > power options > on the left side their is a "Choose what closing the lid does" option

try that, im sure you already have though
nevermind, i see what your trying to achieve

Slushba132 · 11/04/2010 08:08 PM

yeah I tried that, but there is nothing just Sleep

(sucks)

hybernate and do nothing...

have you looked into hybrid-sleep?

i think with that you can close your lid, your programs will still run and be in sleep mode
so i assume it will require a password to remove from sleep

check it out

That's his point, processes stop running in Sleep mode.

but really, this sounds like the most viable option...i doubt there's any other way
