Password after standby Windows

Well one of the things which are really bugging me when I run Windows as a HTPC OS is the default setting for wake up after standby. The default will lock your machine, which is totally useless for an HTPC. To get rid of this just:

  • Go to the Power Options (or I guess Energy Options in Vista or Win7)
  • Search within the list for standby
  • Select "Prompt for password when computer resumes from standby"
et voila
