Adjusting time before being logged out to User logon menu

[Dynamo99]

I'm running XP Pro Full version here. I have 3 user accounts set up. WHen a user is logged in, and if there is no activity for some time, XP goes back to the multi-User login screen. Does anyone know where to make the adjustment to increase the time it takes to do this, so I don't have to keep loggin back in every 10 minutes?

Thanks in advance,

JM

This is probably a function of the screen saver.

You have enabled - On resume, password protect.


Found on:

Display Properties > Screen Saver(tab)
The two rules for success are:
1. Never tell them everything you know.

No, I don't think it's the screensaver. I run webshots as a screensaver, and even before it starts (set for 15 minutes), Xp will just log the current user out to the user login menu where there are 4 users to select from.

I know of no other way for you to be logged off.

The setting isn't a function of the screen saver itself it is a setting on the screen saver tab right next to the Wait setting in the middle of the dialog box.
