Don't Click it if You're Not Sure

Ok. So it may be true that I'm "Miss Worry-Wart" or "Safety Girl." And yes, it's probably true that most of the things I worry about never actually happen, but sometimes...

This is a perfect example of why I don't click on strange things...

For Christmas, I searched Google Images and found a picture to save as a desktop background. (I was so proud that I have mastered how to save to My Photos, and the 'set as desktop background'.)

Then I searched for free screen savers. I found one I like and downloaded it to the Acer laptop. Now after the screen saver comes on, the computer says it can only be unlocked by dtassie! Even after I went in and told it not to require a password at restart, it still does it.

When I switched back to one of the default windows screen savers, the problem was partially solved. Now it will at least let me remove the password on restart option. Maybe the two things aren't related, but if they aren't the timing is sure funny.

This speaks to the idea of digital citizenship somewhat. I have encountered so many kids who think they are computer gurus, when their real expertise lies in posting comments and pictures to their Facebook page. I download and 'click' on things carefully and judiciously, but still ended up with a problem that could have been a real hassle. Think about the way the kids 'click' on anything with bright colors. That is the kind of 'clicking' that could crash a system.
