WinXP keeps reverting back to login screen

I have three user accounts on my WinXP computer. When I've logged into two
of them, but working in one of the two, if I leave the computer running (in
the middle of a task) and go do something else for ten minutes, when I come
back I'm not longer looking at the program/task I was working on but I'm
back to the login screen with the choice of the three user accounts.

How can I stop this from occuring...I want to stay in the user account I'm
working in, especially because my main program (a live data stock market
program) is always locked up when I have to go back from the login screen to
the user account. Can someone show me how to get this to work right.

Thanks in advance,

John

Change the screensaver settings.

Thanks...that seems to be working, a nice simple solution.
