After say about an hour if i leave my computer on it shut downs in to the profile bit. I have to click on my username again. How do I turn this off? Also how do i delete my profile but keep all my files e.g on the desktop etc?

Thanks

Right click the desktop, click properties then screensaver, click power, click advanced, remove tick from prompt for password when computer resumes from standby, click apply

Click Hibernate and remove tick from enable hibernation, click apply

You will have to have a profile

If it is a security issue, you can make folders private.

Create another profile, password protect this and keep delicate files in that
