Hi. Go to control panel, power options, hit alt+t for system stand-by (you can also tab to the combo box for system stand-by), hit end to get to never, and tab once again. This second system stand-by box is for battery power. If your system is a desktop, and not on a UPS, you can forget this box, and just tab to OK and hit enter. If your system is a laptop, or runs on a UPS, set this box to however long you want the system to wait idly before going into stand-by when using batteries or UPS power. Tab to OK and hit enter once you set this box, if you want to. This should prevent your system from logging out at any time. HTH.
