Title: Need help changing log-in settings on my pc
Post by: crazy on May 20, 2007, 07:39:58 AM

Ever since I re-loaded XP after it crashed a few weeks ago,  My pc automatically logs me off after only 1 minute.  I only have to click on the desired user to continue, but I am unhappy with that.   I  have looked high and low for the menu to change the settings to no avail.   Is there a way or a place (and I am sure there is) where I can change the time for it to log out  from 1 minute to longer or never?  It isn\'t in power options on the control panel.   I was so happy to recover my hard drive that it didnt\' bother me at first.  But now I am returning to my spoiled ways and I sure would like to fix it.   Thanks my friend,  crazy

It really sounds like a power setting to me.  Is the hard drive shutting off?

Nothing is shutting off.  It just goes to the blue log-in screen after only a minute or so.   I have looked in all the power options and haven\'t found anything.  Only it logs off automatically.  Weird stuff.  Thanks!
