How can i set my Desire up so the screen does not lock up when not using it?

I have looked around but can not find the settings to change it.

    You mean you want to set it up so the screen doens't turn off? What's the point in that if you're not using it?

    You can change the screen time out to 30 mins in the settings but that seems to be the longest time. There's probably an app that can do it though. Tasker looks like it may be able to.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    Download "Barcode Scanner" from the market. Hold it up to the screen to scan. It can scan barcodes and QR codes, such as the one above.

    'Barcode Scanner' is an app you download from the Android Market via the phone. When you open the app, it opens the camera but with a big rectangular box and a red line across it. All you do is hold the camera so the QR code is in the box, and the scanner will automatically find the url for the app.
