[Help] How do you extend or turn off the session timeout

[straytoasters]

Winxp Pro. Multible accounts...if you have no activity on one when you come back you have to login...how can you extend the time out or turn it off altogether?

Open gpedit.msc (Start > Run > gpedit.msc > click OK)

Then, go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Terminal Services (this is system-wide; you can also configure in the same location under User Configuration, which is a per-user change if you'd rather the settings be different per user).

Have fun .

You neglected to specify which key (to borrow a registry reference), but "set a time limit for active but idle terminal services sessions" seemed the most approproite. All the settings were set as "not configured", but I enabled active but idle and set it the "never". We'll see.

However I wanted to make sure it was understood that I am not remoting in, this is when I am logged in at the local machine while physically at the local machine. It may all be the same value but I wanted to make sure that was known.

Thanks.
