Hello everyone,<br />
<br />
I have never seen this before, but I have a user that when she is away from her computers more than 20 minutes, her computer automaticlly locks. &nbsp;The first thing I checked was screen saver, but that does not have a password. &nbsp;Also, when her computer &nbsp;locks, it shows the desktop in the background. &nbsp;I also checked her local group policy and could not find any place where this could be set.<br />
<br />
Does anyone know if there is a GP that would lock a users computer?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
<br />

How to stop a windows xp computer from auto locking

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
