Disabling Automatic Logout

[burritonator]

I know this is bound to be a simple question, but I can't find the setting in NT to do it...

How do I disable the feature in NT that automatically logs the user out of Windows after a certain period of inactivity?

Thanks,

I'm not sure what feature of NT you are talking about. I do know that you can setup in novel admin to do that but... in NT - not sure where that one is set... are you on a network running policies?

I'm simply referring to the fact that after a certain period of inactivity, the PC logs the user out and they have to hit CTRL+ALT+DEL and enter their username/password to sign back in. NT, Win2000, and XP all have this ability. It is tied to the local user accounts on the PC.(As a matter of fact, in XP, it is controlled by the "Prompt for password when computer resumes from standby" option in the Power Options.)

I simply can't remember where to modify this behavior in NT.

Isn't it just invoked by password protecting the screen saver?
