Auto screen lock(NOT SCREENSAVER) Screensaver is disabled.
After a few minutes, 5 I think, Window 7 lcoks the computer and put up the password prompt.
I have looked through user accounts, security menus, searched web, but can't find anything.
How do I disable/control this?

I had already set them to Never/Never In the screensaver option the " wait 5min on resume display logon screen" is not greyed out even if you have screensaver disabled so if you uncheck it the problem will be solved!! | My System Specs | | |

I will try this when I get home, but it is intermiitent, and it isn't always 5 minutes that I have to wait.
Sometimes 1-2, sometimes MUCH longer 15+.
IMO, THIS IS A BUG, not an option that needs tweaking, but I will look for what you mentioned and try it. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number you OS w7 CPU have Motherboard got Memory to Graphics Card be Sound Card ****ing Monitor(s) Displays kidding PSU !
