Here is my problem,

I use pcAnywhere and leave my home pc as the 'Host' but by the time I get to
work and try to log INTO my home pc, XP Professional has already timed out
and it's at the sign in screen where someone has to type the password to get
back into the account with the Host running. Is there any way I can STOP
this automatic Log Off so that my account stays active and my pcAnywhere Host
is accessible?

Could it be screen saver settings , untick the box 'prompt for password' ?

By god - that's one place I never checked. I putzed around with User
Accounts and couldn't get it to change... you're right... there was a check
mark beside "On resume, display Welcome screen" in the screensaver popup.
thanx.
