I have to retype my password every time just to get back in.
Is there any way to stop XP from doing this?
I would like the account to just stay open.

Please just stick to posting in one group. Since the people who are trying

Is this during use of the PC?

If it "log's itself out" while you are not there, right click on the Desktop
and choose properties. goto the ScreenSaver tab and uncheck "on resume,
password protect"

This is a XP Pro setting not a XP Home setting.
I have resolved this.
 
If it's doing this as a result of screen saver, there's an
option to disable it in your display properties -> Screen
Saver tab.
