Auto Lock of system

[Guest]

To anyone that can help me, I would really appreciate if this question could
be answered. My work laptop is running windows 2000. Most people know that
you can hit cntl+alt+delete and lock your computer, so when you get back you
can unlock the pc and continue what you are doiing.

THE PROBLEM LIES that somehow my work installed an automatic timeout that
makes this happen every 15 minutes or so it automatically locks and I have to
go in and put my password in. This is becoming extrememly annoying and I
want to disable it. If I go into control panel ----> display option ---->
screen savor tab

it states that it is the "Logon Screen Server" and the password protect has
been disabled, meaning that I cannot disable this. I REALLY WANT TO! when I
click on the settings button right next to this screen savor, a popup comes
up and states that: "This screen savor has no options you can set".

Is there anyway that I can go into the registry and correct this or somehow
disable this or turn it off!

Any Help with this would be appreciated

It is really a pain in the rear!

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Hello,

Thank you for posting.

I understand that the system locks after some time and you want to disable
it from doing.

Please check if the policies mentioned below are set either on the local
system policy or has been inherited by the parent container.

1. Click on start -> run -> type "gpedit.msc" without quotes.
2. Navigate to User configuration->Administrative Templates->Control
Panel->Display.
3. Configure the "Activate Screen Saver" setting to disabled (this will
make sure that screen savers are disabled for all users on this machine)
4. Disable the "Screen Saver timeout" setting

If the local policy is not active, please check if there is some other
policy that is being inherited.

I hope the above information helps to resolve your issue. If there is
anything unclear, please feel free to let me know. Thank you and have a
nice day!

Rashmi

Rashmi,

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it! I followed your instructions and
none of those settings are configured. It has to be some other policy that
is causing this,

Can you think of any other one!

THanks
Mike
