Windows account locking up

[imrpat]

HI guys

i was wondering if anyone could help me on this one....

sometimes when i leave my PC and come back after about 5 minutes it locks up and you have to enter the password to go into the account again.

what i want to know is, is there a way to extend the period so it locks up after half an hour or is there a setting that allows you to make it so that it never locks up.

Thanks

It's a screensaver setting.

Probably the Screensaver. right-click on an empty part of your desktop, select Properties, then select the screen saver tab and set the time you want it for. Also, you can just deactivate the "On Resume Password Protect" checkbox, so it doesn't lock up.
