I recently had to reload Windows XP and since then I have had the following
problem: If I don't use the computer for a few minutes, I must re-sign into
my account. this happens several times an hour.

How do I shut this off?

Control Panel, Display, Screen Saver, uncheck the On resume, password protect, or On resume, show Welcome Screen box, as appropriate.
