    Hi. I am using my daughter's pc while I'm attepting repairs to mine.

    Here's the small problem. I start it up and I get to the screen which shows all the user accounts. I log on using my daughter's account. Her desktop appears, but if left idle (not moving the mouse or using the keyboard) or I'm online reading something, after just a few seconds it logs me off of Windows and I'm lookig at her wallpaper. I then have to log back on to Windows.

    Where do I go and how do I change this setting?

    Thanks in advance! :)

    This is XP? If so, right click an empty area of the desktop and click Properties > Screen Saver tab > Power button. Set the Standby to a suitable vale and click the Advanced tab. Uncheck Prompt for a password when computer resumes from Standby.
