Disable/Prevent auto-logoff

After countless hours of searching I've found no answer...

How does one disable the auto-logoff in vista?! I've search high and low in display settings, power management, group policies, and have also tried numerous 'net' commands in cmd with no luck. I use logmein from another computer in my home and watch movies to a computer connected to my tv. However, im getting VERY frustrated at how I must come back to my computer to have to log back in through logmein since after 15-30 mins the stupid thing keeps logging off! I can't watch a full movie without atleast getting up 4-5 times during it and moving the mouse around to prevent the idle auto-logoff or having to log back in...ANY HELP?!

Re: Disable/Prevent auto-logoff

I know its a vista problem as it does it regardless of logmein. Vista logs me out and I have to click the picture to log back in. I see many people have to enter there logon password to get back into windows but this doesnt occur with me as I have auto-logon turned on

Logmein does in fact log me out but thats not what im concerned about. I would only have to go back to my computer and use logmein if I get logged out of windows and have to log back in or...I have to pause the movie in windows media player
