Windows 7 Login Screen - Music playing in background!

[sm625]

I hibernate my notebook while a video is playing in vlc player. Then I turn on my notebook two hours later and it resumes to the login screen. The video I was playing immediately starts continuing where it left off even though I havent logged in yet!

Is there a way to stop this? I dont care if I have to suspend everything while at the login screen.

Humm, this is a shot in the dark, but you could try disabling Fast User Switching.

I think you can control this behaviour in VLC itself.

For the record disabling Fast User Switching doesnt help.

Do you know how? I looked at all the options and couldnt see anything that sounded relevant.

or just use another video watching software. bsplayer has a function that might help your problem

Seems to me that is the way hibernate is supposed to work. It records what was in memory when it started, and will continue that when it resumes. The easy solution is not to use hibernate. Try sleep.

I actually did install bs player but I cant find the option you are talking about. What is it called?

Every time I open bs player it changes all the file associations automatically. I'm not liking that. I would look in the option to see if I can disable that "feature" but I dont want to have to do my file associations again! I'm thinking I may have been trolled...

For the record, this program solves the problem:

Easier solution would be to not close the laptop while watching videos.
