Reverts to login

In both XP Pro and Home I have computers that revert to the login screen when
there is no input for a period of time. How can I change this so it won't go
back to the login screen or how can I lengthen the time period required
before it reverts?

Galen,

Thanks. I would have never figured it out even though it appears simple.

No worries, glad to know it worked for you. It's actually an often asked
question.
