How to disable logon prompt after inactivity?

Ron_Jeremy
XP prompts me to re-enter my password if my computer is inactive for a short while. Normally, this is fine & dandy. But, it is a pain in the @ss while I'm watching a DVD ;( I forget how to disable this, or extend the time before the password prompt appears.

It's me again (or for some) I would like to know if there is a way of blocking -can't find the right term- the users on a computer: like disable acces to some folders or my computer or just to the files of the other users.

Office XP SP2

Helshad
Installed it without any trouble. . . Need the original CD though. It is now version 2002 (10. 4219. 4219) SP2 If you have versions before 2002 (10. 4-. 3-) SP1 you might run into trouble. . . Read on other forums that SP2 told them that they had wrong versions and stuff.
