Hello,

We have 3 user accounts, each with name/password combos. But, I mainly use
the computer during the day and everytime I leave for a few minutes, I have
to enter the password again.

Is there a way to adjust the timeout setting for the password to a longer
period, like 10-15 minuntes?

It's ridiculous to have to enter the password after only a few minutes of
inactivity.

Thanks,

Sam
 
You don't need to do it all but the time is entirely based on when the
screen saver is set to kick in. Open Control Panel, open Display, go to the
Screen Saver tab, either increase the time frame before the screen saver
kicks in or if you wish to turn the feature off altogether, remove the check
from "On resume, use Welcome screen" and click apply.
