WinXP User Accounts

[mikex0093]

Hey, I have 2 User Accounts on my WinXP Professional OS. One is Non-password, and limited. The other is Mine, which is the administrator. When I login to mine, and I leave my pc idle for about 5-10 min(give or take a few min)It does either of 2 things. Logs me off totally closing all my programs, and goes to the Welcome screen (not the secure classic one, the one that shows all the users). Or, it just logs me off to the welcome screen, but My programs are still running. Now, I was wondering If I could turn off this automatic feature and switch users manually so I dont have to close my programs? Is this possible? Thx for the help

Right click on the desktop, click properties, and set your screensaver settings to never kick in. (Or be non-password protected.)

Damn, its not working! My monitor turns off to save power, and When I move my mouse it brings me to the welcome screen! Anyone??
