I am running a Windows Vista Notebook, I have a nosey room-mate that always finds my computer no matter where i put it and manages to use my computer. My boyfriend's computer is the same model and when he closes it it automatically sets the password prompt. I've searched I feel everywhere and can't find this setting on mine (or his).... Can anyone help with this?? THANK YOU!!!

I think I just figured out how to do it... This option was hidden within the power saving setting section.... If anyone else wants to know the answer I went to Change the setting in my power plan, selected change plan settings under the plan i had selected, then Change advanced power settings. When that came up I expanded 'Require a password on wake up' and changed both on battery and on plug to 'yes' IT WORKS! (= Yay me!
