My laptop has some kind of feature that when the laptop is off for around 2 hours+ it auto locks itself and turns off (and stops folding)

Any idea where I can go to sort this out please? Its running XP of some derivative. Not sure where any settings are to make sure it never auto logs off.

Control Panel - Power options.

aha! In which case hopefully my "playing" earlier will result in a full night's folding. Its amazingly quiet running though @ 80% - It barely makes a noise.

Looking at the other thread - it seems you may just have a password protected screensaver - is the power really off?

It's worth locking the laptop when you're not present - it's an automatic thing for me here at work Windows-L (XP & W2K3 only for that shortcut) when I'm off for a cuppa etc.

Wouldn't be the first time a joker sent an email to someone with content that shouldn't have been sent, etc etc, or post under a logged in account on a forum

I know where you're coming from, but I've already been sent a piccie this week,entitled "need help identifying bird" - and it features a small duck on a lake with a red circle round it, and a topless woman in the foreground with the largest jugs I have EVER seen. :eek: Now if that got past "security"...

I feel client confidentiality is more of a concern, and we've had builders in recently, so we have to take care what we're showing on the laptop screens, and whats visible on the desks. (like the undying "I want you back" love letter I found in one clients paperwork )
