User account locks up

I have a new Dell desk top with Windows Vista. My user account automatically
locks when the system goes into power save mode after not being used for
awhile. I have to shut down and re-boot. Is there a way to avoid having my
user account lock up ?

For some reason i can't link to the damn thing, but Brink wrote
tutorial for this. It's called "Password Protection on Wakeup". You'l
have to do a search for it

The easiest way to resolve this issue is : Go to Control Panel -> Hardware
and sound ->Power options. Click on 'Require a password on wakeup'. Click on
this a dialog will open. Click on 'Change settings that are currently
unavailable'. Then select the option 'Dont require a password'..
