Automatically Logging Me Off - DON'T want that to happen

[Guest Mike C]

Here is my problem,

 

I use pcAnywhere and leave my home pc as the 'Host' but by the time I get to

work and try to log INTO my home pc, XP Professional has already timed out

and it's at the sign in screen where someone has to type the password to get

back into the account with the Host running. Is there any way I can STOP

this automatic Log Off so that my account stays active and my pcAnywhere Host

is accessible?

Could it be screen saver settings , untick the box 'prompt for password' ?

By god - that's one place I never checked. I putzed around with User

Accounts and couldn't get it to change... you're right... there was a check

mark beside "On resume, display Welcome screen" in the screensaver popup.

thanx.
