I have Win XP running on a dell desktop. Once I have fully booted up
and have the desktop showing, if I do not use the key board or mouse
for 5 minutes, Windows automatically takes me to a log on screen where
I have to click on my user name again. (I have the computer set up for
3 users.). Is there a way to stop this automatic "log off" or at least
to increase the time before it automatically logs off? Thx

Go to Control Panel and double click on Display.
Click on the ScreenSaver tab.
Remove the check mark in the box next to "On resume, show
Welcome screen".

Hi,

Go into Control Panel - Power Options and investigate the Power
Schemes and Advanced tab.
The settings should be obvious.
