Auto logoff XP Home Fast User Switching

by jlucas . Updated 18 years, 6 months ago

How do I disable Auto logoff after inactivity on stand-alone Win XP Home PC running Fast User Switching?

It doesn’t actually log me off, but instead switches to the Welcome/login display after inactivity, and my applications keep running in background.

I need to keep my session displayed, regardless of inactivity. Screensaver is disabled, so that is not the problem.

This is similar to a question asked previously by hkray@hotmail.com, but I couldn’t see a convincing response:

Auto logoff Don’t want
Hi, I am tired off my PC switching to the logon on screen even though I have been been idle for just 5-10minutes. I have looked around, but I don’t seem to find the location to control this. I run WIN XP home version. Tired of having to re logon ,exspecially when I am scanning. I would like the option to leave my account open since I run the computer 90% of the time….
