When I do not use my computer for about 15 minutes, a password screen pops
up.  I am then not able to get back into my computer with entering a
password.  Is there a way to disable this feature?  I have gone to Control
Panel, Display, but I do not have a screen saver tab (which people keep
telling me to go to).  How do I add a screen saver tab onto my system?

Control Panel ... Display ... Screen Saver (tab)
Uncheck the On resume Password Check box.
