I have XP and recently installed XP Plus! and installed
one of themes on my user acount. It seems that since then
my user account does not automatically lock the desktop
after a period of inactivity. The other user accounts on
the same computer still lock after inactivity, just mine
does not.

I have looked for a registry setting, but cannot find
anything on this topic. This is not a screen saver
setting, as the other accounts do not use screen savers
and still lock the desktop after inactivity.

Thanks for any assistance.
