Passwords

Can i set up passwords when i put my computer on standby and when the screensaver activates, like you can in Windows XP?  I looked for like twenty minutes last night and could not find it anywhere.

Right click on the desktop and select Personalize. Then select Screen Saver and check "On resume, display logon screen".
 
For the Sleep mode, again open the Screen Saver Settings and select "Change power settings" and then "Change plan settings".

I don't recall Dell "recommending" this. It's completely up to you whether or not you require a password to resume from sleep mode. If you don't want anyone but yourself to be able to use the computer after it wakes, then a password is required.
