Odd XP Password Problem...

[Draccius]

First off, I am using Windows XP Pro.

I am having an odd password prompt pop up when my computer is idle at the desktop for 10 minutes or so.

The icons and bar will disappear and a text box prompting me to unlock the computer appears.

I am the only user on the computer, so I don't have a password, so I just need to hit enter to make it go away.

Even so, I am getting annoyed - it hasn't done this before! Any advice?

Sounds like your screensaver's "Password protected" box is checkmarked.

Thanks for the help! I have no idea how it got checked - but it was, and it was listed with a blank screensaver. No harm done, though!
