I never got a direct responce to this problem but i took some advice i saw on other forums

What i eventully did was i downloaded the recovery thing from the Microsoft site and booted from that

then i went in to the command prompt mode thing and copied the missing file from another computer i have

but im sorry to say i dont remember what the file was? hopefully if you look around you can find what it is but i cant remember...

ill try to find the originally site that i found most of the steps on and link it back here later

hope you figure it out ^^

Not sure if this is what you are looking for.
Right click on the Desktop Screen and select Properties.
Select the Screensaver Tab.
Select a Screensaver from the drop down box.
Put a wait period in the Wait box and tick "On resume, display Welcome screen"
Select Apply then OK.
Hope this is what you are after.

Thats not all that helpful Mal because as previously stated, it immediately logs us off which makes it impossible to access the properties menu

After i replaced that file i talked about in my second post my laptop has worked just fine, so i would still say that's the best bet for anyone with this problem.

Ive never had to recover the admin password myself (thankfully my little brother always remember it) so i quickly googled it

I found a page that listed a couple of different options
http://www.petri.co.il/forgot_administrator_password.htm
A couple of them are boot disks designed to crack the admin password (I think...i just quickly skimmed threw it)

If you read up on those you may be able to solve your problem

Google and download the ISO for Hiren's boot disk (Or just go here: http://www.hirensbootcd.net/). Burn it to a disk and boot off it. There are a number of useful tools, including a local user (admin, guest, etc.) properties resetter (IE Disabled/Enabled). This includes a password blanking feature.
