XP Home--logs me off after a few minutes-requires relogon
I have XP Home. When I leave my PC for a few minutes, the screen saver comes on and locks the PC.
I went into Control Panel>Power options and set everything to Never. I even turned off the hibernate and every other setting in there that would put it to sleep or hibernate.
I then went into the Display Properties, set the screen saver to 10 minutes, and unclicked the option to the right of it.
But when I give the PC time to sit for a while, it will lock, requiring me to re-enter my password. Is there a setting that I am missing?
