Quick help with XP please!

This has just started happening today, and I guess in my haste I have changed a setting somewhere, just don't know where!

My netbook is password protected. So everytime I boot up, I have to enter my password. However, since this morning, if I turn my back for about a minute, I have to re enter my password to continue working.

What have I done and how do I reverse it please?

Many thanks! :beer:

    Accidentally password protected with a screen-saver? 'On resume, password protect' should be unticked.
