Thanks for attempting to resolve my problem, although your answer is very extreme and actually wasn't necessary. I just adjusted the Screen Saver settings to NEVER and now I am not logged out. It was very easy...but I appreciate your assistance.

Solution

Right click on Desktop

click Personalize

click Screen Saver

click Change Power Settings

click Require a password on wakeup

click Change settings that are currently unavailable

click Do not require a password

click Save changes
