After about 5 minutes or so of inactivity my screen saver comes on on my XP Pro, then jsut a couple minutes after that XP logs me out and I have to click on my user name and then enter my password to get back into Windows. Any way of turning this off. Looked in local security settings but could not seem to find the right option. Thanks.
 
control pannel > power options > Power schemes tab
change the system standby time
Advanced Tab...
you may want to turn off "prompt for password"

also go into
control pannel > display > screen saver tab
change the time on the screen saver
you may want to take the "on resume, password" options

hope that helps
