Windows Log In Question
 
I have my wife's computer set up so that, after some length of time of
no usage, it logs her off, requiring password entry to get back in.

I did this when we had to deal daily with the autistic grandson to
keep him from bunging up the computer.

We no longer need that "feature".

But now I can't remember how I did it or how to undo it :-(

What's the secret recipe ?:-)

Thanks!

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

The auto-log-off is somewhere in the screensaver settings.
