HOW turn off Auto Log Off

[Mike Fox]

We're running XP Pro on Dell Demensions with multi-users. When a user
leaves the computer for about 5 minutes, XP automatically logs you off
and you have to use your pass word to log on again. We don't need
this feature. Could anyone tell us how to turn off this feature?

Thanks

right click the desktop > properties> screen saver tab> and then uncheck the
box that says password protect or somthing similar.

Hope it helps

Are you using a password protected screen saver? Is that what you are
talking about?

It doesn't actually log you off, what it does is Lock the
machine. You could try going into display properties,
accessing the Screen Saver tab, and deselecting the On
resume, passsword protect check box.

I think this may work.

Hi Alex

As the administrator, I went to the Display Properties and Screen
Saver tab and clicked on the Power botton and the Advanced settings
and unchecked the box that said "Prompt for password when computer
resumes from standby" and rebooted. Unfortunately, that didn't stop
locking us out.

Wrong setting, Mike.

Display Properties/Sceen Saver/On resume......
