How to remove the screen lock in Windows 7

Almost every user performs a specific job at a computer and stores files that wish to hide from prying eyes. It is ideal for office workers and parents with young children. To limit access of foreign people to accounts, Windows 7 developers offered to use the lock screen - despite its simplicity, it acts as a sufficiently serious barrier against unauthorized access.

But what to do people who are the only users of a particular computer, and constantly turning the lock screen during the minimum system downtime takes a considerable time? In addition, it appears every time the computer is turned on, even if the password is not set, which takes the precious time for which the user would already load.

There are several ways to configure the display of the lock screen - they depend on how it has been activated in the system.
