So there must be some setting for locking an idle computer that is NOT related to the screen saver and yet nobody knows where it is?I guess I'm nobody, since I know where it is.

Two things may happen on inactivity:

1) Screen saver. May be password protected. See "on resume, password protect" on screen-saver settings.

2) Power management. See "prompt for password when computer returns from standby" on Power Options control-panel applet.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Windows-XP-How-to-disable-automatic-idle-lock-19817222 Wed, 16 Jan 2008 23:20:48 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Windows-XP-How-to-disable-automatic-idle-lock-19817162
Many frustrated msdn and google searches have yielded thousands of "check your screen saver" solutions, however on my old computer when the screen saver first came on, if i moved the mouse within the first few mintues the computer would not be locked. Also, I have seen many computers that are locked (after a period of inactivity) but have no screen saver on.

If so, there may be a domain policy being applied that locks the workstation after a set time of inactivity.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Windows-XP-How-to-disable-automatic-idle-lock-19781830 Fri, 11 Jan 2008 14:45:54 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Windows-XP-How-to-disable-automatic-idle-lock-19780592

Here are a few things I've already looked at:

Power profile
Scheduled tasks

The screensave tab is on my display properties.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Windows-XP-How-to-disable-automatic-idle-lock-19780540 Fri, 11 Jan 2008 11:11:44 EDT
