Automatic Logoff - How to stop

#1 (**permalink**) 01-04-2007, 06:58 AM

Today I added 2 more users to my XP SR2 system.
Now, everytime I stop typing on the keyboard for a few minutes the system
logs off and I have to logon again with the password.
This is really annoying.
Is there any way to stop or change this?

Right click a blank area of the Desktop | Properties | Screensaver. Uncheck
the box for on resume show the Welcome Screen ( I don't have XP open at the
moment so I don't know the exact wording.) And FYI, it's XP with SP2 -
Service Pack 2, not SR2.
