Have you checked your 'Advanced mode' in desktop properties?

Right click Desktop>Properties>Screensaver and click on the 'Power' button.
Then click on the 'Advanced' tab. See if your 'password' box is checked. I don't know if this is what you are looking for, but it may be...

No. I was just making sure.
Ok, try this...Start>Control Panel>User Accounts>Change the way users log on and off.

You should be able to set it how you like it from there.

OR

If you use CCleaner or another program that clears all temp files you have to configure it to not clean TSG's cookie.

For CCleaner it is as easy as going in options, cookies and move TSG's to keep.

If you are using FireFox (FF) you go:

Tools, options, general, cookies, and check allow sites to set cookies.

If your using Internet Explorere (IE) go:
Tools, internet options, privacy, and slide it to medium-high or high.
