I´ve just gotten an XP notebook from work that I´m using on my home network. If I´m not using it for awhile, I come back and it´s sitting there waiting for me to sign in and logon again. A real pain...especially as it loses the wireless connection every time.

I´m administrator but don´t know a lot about XP. Can somebody tell me how to keep it from going into standby or whatever it´s doing. It´s not a power setting problem because I´ve got all that set to not do anything while it´s plugged into the mains.

Thanks

1) Right click desktop --> properties --> screen saver --> power options --> advanced --> uncheck "prompt for password when computer resumes from standby".

2) Right click desktop --> properties --> screen saver --> uncheck "On resume, password protect"
