Hi All,

I work at a school where the children have logged onto a computer but then leave it for 15 minutes. The next child comes to use the computer but it is locked by the first student. I am the administrator so I can unlock the computer but is there some way I can prevent the computer from locking at all?
I am thinking it must be a security setting somewhere because it doesn't happen to every computer only some of them.
Running Windows XP Pro.

Any assistance greatly appreciated.
 
try this

Start > Control Panel > Double Click the Power Options Icon.

On the advanced tab uncheck "prompt for password"

and also this

Right Click on any unused space on your desktop and click properties

go to the screen saver tab and uncheck "On resume password protect"
