Session Timeout Period

I normally run a small home business on two networked
WinXP Home systems.

For Disaster/Recovery reasons (to painful to go into ...)
I have temporarily replaced one system with a WinXP Pro
box.

The XP Pro system behaves a little differently from the
predecessor XP Home system: when multiple users are
logged in, after some timeout period it goes quiescent,
and one has to click on a User name to resume work.

This is OK -- the User's programs and context are
maintained -- but the timeout interval is far too short
for convenience.

I have searched but cannot find a procedure for setting
the timeout to a longer interval. Can anyone help?

Right-click on your Desktop and select:
Properties Screensaver tab and increase
the time for the screensaver.
