I have recently installed Service Pack 2 on my Windows Server 2008 machine (which I use actively for development, and i'm always logged on to).
Now, after this installation, when I don't use the machine for some time (let's say, 10 minutes), it locks itself so I have to press Ctrl+Alt+Del and log back in.
I have already checked the Screen Saver settings, and it's "None", as it always has been. I also looked into power settings and everything looks right (20 mins to turn off monitor, and i haven't found any settings regarding locking me in there).
Do you have any idea what I can do so that it won't lock me out after not using the machine for a while?
Thanks!
Daniel

Check the group policy for your account.
gpedit.msc
into the start search box and hit enterscreen saver
to disabled, andscreen saver timeout
to a high value just in case.
