Win2k Security Lock Problem

Hey all,
I've recently set up a couple of mapped drives on my home network in Win2K (SP2), and since then the pc logs off and locks itself after about 15 minutes. This causes me grief because this causes my internet connection to disconnect, stops screensavers, and/or kills my TV tuner software (while watching TV from across the room for longer than 15 min.) I have looked through all the security settings, but cannot find anything regarding an automatic timed workstation lock. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Update:
I am not smart. I do believe that when I mapped the drives in question, the OS set the screensaver to password protected, thus locking the pc whenever I tried to shut off the screensaver. Once again I have attended the all too familiar Theatre of The Obvious! Thanx anyway.

Thank, you. You reminded what I was tought about:
don't use third-party screen savers, and unknown software on networked computers.
BTW, the MS's Win2000 site is almost about the same, for any computer.
