Oh yea,
Although this is usually caused by the screensaver kicking in, there is a
possiblity that the machine is going into standby mode, the default in
Windows 2000/XP is that when we come back out of Standby to lock the
workstation; in Windows XP you can change this as an Administrative Template
setting in Group Policy.
