Just as a guess, look at the user settings.<br>
<br>
It really is obnoxious that "modern" desktops impose this "security" feature. <br>
It is generally unnecessary outside of a shared office (eg "cubical city") <br>
environment.<br>
<br>
Back in the old days, screen locks were something that were started <br>
*manually*. That is, when you got up from your desk, you would start the <br>
screen lock as you were leaving. But I guess in today's world of self-locking <br>
car doors, people are no longer trusted to lock up after themselves...<br>
