I have a computer running Windows XP that automatically logs me off every 20 minutes or so and requires me to log back in to continue my work. I thought perhaps it was a function wihtin the Power settings in the Control Planel, but even when I have Always On as the selected power plan, I still get logged off. How can I stop this annoyance?
Regards,

Are you really logged off or does a screensaver kick in with the "On resume, password protect" check box turned on?

It was the latter.

Now if only recovering my hard drive were so simple ...
