Start/Settings/Control Panel/Security Center...You can turn it on/off from there\n\nEDIT:  Sorry! Had a brain fart...wasn't paying attention. I thought you were talking about Media Center.\n\nTry going here (if you haven't already) and click on support tab...\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsme/

The computer doesn't know that - it is a stupid machine and must be told. If you have the option, checkmark the "remember me" or "remember logon" checkbox.

Best to turn off for a number of reasons.\n\nSave electricity\nProlong life of components within the computer\nCertain items will need refreshing which is done during reboot\n\nI'm in charge of a PVC mixing plant, the control PC's that handle large amounts of information the automated operations are on most of the time because they are needed for production.  With time they slow down until a point comes where it is unbearably slow and the operator decides to reboot, which resolves the problem.\n\nMore chance for hackers to gain access if you are connected to net.\n\nWithin my company all non productive computers must be switched off since if left on and unattended they can be fire hazards\n\netc etc

Install a software firewall on your computer and set the feature to lock the connection after the desired time. It works like a screen saver. If you want to limit the total access try setting the computer to boot only to the hard drive. Then set the BIOS password and slap a lock on the case so that the BIOS cannot be cleared. Also set the password on your screen save. I have mine set for 10 minutes in case I leave my desk.\nDo not use names for a password. Mix upper and lower case and numbers, letters, and symbols. Add letter 8 characters.\n\nRemeber, if someone want in there is nothing you can do to stop them.

Here's an easy procedural how to do it:\n\n1. Right click on your Desktop\n2. Go to Properties\n3. Go to the Screen Saver tab\n4. Click on Power...\n5. Click on the Advanced tab\n6. [Unchecked] the Prompt for password when computer resumes from standby\n\nThat's it! Hope this helps,\nUltimeaciax

First of all you must let all of us know what OS your are using.\nIf you are using windows XP/NT, then go to control panel and see the user accounts, you can disable password protection from there\nIf this is a BIOS password, then enter your bios setup by entering on boot screen f8 or combination of ctrl f8 .\nThis will let you in Bios Setup.\nThen go to' power on password' option and disable it from there.

Disable it from BIOS or from device manager. Enable password protection for BIOS, don't let anyone else logon as admin if you disable from device manager. Or you can customize security in registry (careful with that).

Use a firewall (either hardware or software) and block the port 1234, 1236 and 1238, set password to settings, done!

Sign off but don't exit, then uncheck the "automatically log in" box! Don't even let it save your password, that will really make it stop. I used to have that problem all the time.

Ok, what you'll REALLY have to do is right click on the desktop, select properties.  In there you can go to the screen saver pane.  Click on the "Power" button Located at bottom of pane).  In your power options, go to advanced, and uncheck the box that states "Prompt for password when computer resumes from standby".  Click apply then ok and you're done.\n\nP.S.  Don't follow Anonymous' advice, that will log you out if you follow those directions, and obviously she doesn't read too well.  She's telling you to do the exact opposite of what you want to do.  Take it from someone with a degree in Computer Networking.

Try changing the password from the crt-alt-del wind task pane. Most business system are protected so someone can't come by as you're away from your desk and change your password.

Don't bother downloading some crap software that will just consume system resources. You don't need it.\n\nI'm assuming you're using Firefox, because IE isn't smart enough to do something like this. To turn off remembering searchs and such, go to Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> Saved Forms -> Uncheck "Save Information when I enter in Forms and the Search Bar".\n\nHope that helps. Enjoy! :)
