bobburk -> logging off after short idle period (4/6/2007 18:54:52) When I leave my laptop unattended for about 15 minutes, when I come back to use it again I have to click on my user icon again to continue where I left off. This drives me crazy (well, not quite crazy). Is there a way to stay logged in to avoid this situation when I return to use the computer after a while? Window XP Home is my OS.

jaybee -> RE: logging off after short idle period (4/6/2007 19:23:50) Check your laptop settings, you probably have it set to go into hibernation mode after 15 minutes of inactivity, either lengthen the time or change it to something else. Laptops usually arrive with that setting to save on battery usage. It's probably in Start>Control Panel>Power Options
