Prevent computer from locking up

[Jarret]

I am a member of our company domain and everytime my
computer sites idle for 10 minutes, it locks up and I have
to ctrl-alt-del to get back in. How can I turn this
feature off?

Chances are you can't change this. It was probably
set up this way by your network admin for security purposes.
If you leave desk and you are logged in anyone could
use your computer to access the network or send
e-mail using your account. Really, you should lock
your machine anytime you leave using ctrl-alt-del then
lock computer.

Could be wrong though. Call your admin.

Right click on your desktop and then click Properties at the bottom

Click Screen Saver in the Display Properties window

You MAY need Administrator rights to change the settings... I have
those rights from my IT staff, so see everything that is available
and don't know if Admin rights or needed or not

if you REALLY are "the IT dept" then I suggest you RTFM.

Greetings --

Consult you network administrator. There may very well be a
network security policy in place that requires the PC to be locked
during periods of inactivity. If your IT department is even the least
bit on the ball, this will be the case.
