| computer locks and requires password If I step away from my computer for more than a few minutes, it locks and requires me to enter my user password to get back in. It presents me with the log-in screen. The computer is at home so I don't need it to be that secure. How can I modify or disable this feature? I cant find it anywhere in the control panels. |

| Re: computer locks and requires password Check your screensaver. Does it have "[x] On resume, display logon screen" ? uncheck it, or increase the wait time. -- [url]http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview[/url] "Dick Hurtz" <null@unix.site> wrote in message news:g4-dnapTtoDr01banZ2dnUVZ_uidnZ2d@comcast.com...[color=blue] > If I step away from my computer for more than a few minutes, it locks and > requires me to enter my user password to get back in.
