Computer is locked

[Dave McDuell]

Is there some setting, other than the screen saver or
manually locking, which will cause XP to go to
the "Computer is locked" screen after a period of time ??
I have a user who swears his is doing this in the middle
of the night but the screen saver is set to none and the
requirement to hit ctrl-alt-del when logging on is not
checked.

Thanks

I believe if either hibernation or standby (not certain which one) is
selected then when the computer resume, it will automatically go into
locked mode...

It's possible he has a power managment setting that puts the machine
to sleep after a set amount of inactivity, regardless of wheter a
screen saver is set or not. When it comes out of that mode, it may
require a user-p/w to unlock.
