Locking and unlocking the computer

[Guest]

I can't for the life of me figure out how to turn this function off!! Every
15 minutes or so, if left idle, the computer goes to this screen that says
"Unlock Compter" and below it says "This computer is in use and has been
locked"
How in the world can I turn this function off?!? It is annoying me to no
end!

Thanks

Right-click on your desktop and select Settings (properties) -> Screensaver.
Uncheck "Require password to return"
Don't know the exact words used in the English version, since I use a
swedish version of XP..

Right-click the Desktop > Properties > Screen Saver, and deselect "On
resume, password protect." Or you could set a different time interval,
or turn off the feature entirely.

For future reference, clicking Start > Help and Support, and typing
"password" or "unlock" in the search field would have given you this
answer in seconds.

Well, I like the way you guys are thinking but, been there. The screensaver
is not turned on and the box for the password is not checked. Go figure. lol
Any other suggestions out there??
