Note book 1200

Is there a mens of setting the controls so when the lid is opened it goes to the desktop without having to go thru password id?  Otherwords picks up where you left off instead of actually shutting the system down, always ready to use like my desk top Dell that I never shut down. Thank you.

    While I don't suggest it, as it wastes battery life, there is a way to do that. Go to the power settings, found by right clicking on the desktop, properties, and in one of those tabs, I can't remember which and I'm not on my computer right now, there should be something about power settings. Click that, and it will pop up a new window. In there, it will list all the settings. Change it to never standby and never hibernate. Also, if you have a screensaver, change it so that it doesn't go back to the Welcome screen when it goes off the screensaver.
