Vista auto lock

Just recently, my computer has switched to a system where if left idle for 5
minutes, it will lockdown and asks for a password to log back in. I've tried
looking everywhere to disable this as I've not set vista to do this. How can
I stop this from happening?

RE: Vista auto lock

This is caused by the systems screensaver settings.

If you right click on the desktop, select personalize.

Click on Screensaver. The checkbox that toggles this is labels "On Resume,
Display logon Screen"

RE: Vista auto lock

thing is my screensaver is set to none, so this shouldn't be the cause.

Re: Vista auto lock

Have you looked at the Power Options?
