How do I stop windows from automatically logging out after being idle?

My settings under the power tab are all set to Never, yet it still logs out after being idle for a couple of minutes. My googling sucks, can't seem to find a way to turn it off. Any help?

Is this on a laptop that has it's own power management software? The manufacturer software may be overriding the XP power management settings.

Right click on the desktop, go to properties, then to the screensave tab. There should be a setting there you can uncheck so that you don't have to relogin after the screensaver goes on.
