How can I make my computer go to sleep after 2 minutes?

I'm running windows 7 and I want to make it go to sleep when it's at the login screen and no one touches the computer for 2 minutes.

Go to power options, change plan settings, advanced settings. From there, go to sleep and type in 2 for how long you want.

I see what you are saying.

So you don't have it set to log out after a period of time (screensaver), but want it to sleep after you are logged out, but NOT if you are logged in?
Let me look around.

I would really appreciate if you would help me resolve this Lordbob75, complicated to explain exactly why I need it but it's just a simple thing after all, making it go to sleep.

It cant. The power plan settings are per user, and so cant load till after you log on. IE if there were 2 users and one wanted 2 mins like you and one wanted 5, it couldnt do it. so after you log in it knows which is which

I understand that.

It is an easy thing to set up the computer to sleep at a certain interval. However, the OS is not set up to go to sleep after it has gone into lock.

You can try setting the computer to go to sleep 2 minutes after it goes to screen saver with log in required?
