Re: Setting Timeout

Hi,

In the control panel/power options, set the system to standby after 10
minutes, then set the advanced tab to prompt for password on resumption.

Screensaveer is set to 'None' and there is no timeout setting therre.
What I
am looking for is a automatic return to the logon screen after a set time.

When I first got my computer, with WinXP Pro, it would go to the login
screen
after about 10 minutes. This somehow got changed to about an hour. I
want
to set it back to 10 minutes but I don't know how to get to that
setting.
There is no screensaver, it just goes to the login screen. I can also
get
to
this screen by choosing 'switch user' but I want it to go
automatically.
Can
anyone help, please?
