How to Change the Length of Time That Your Computer Is Inactive Before Your Status Becomes “Away”
By pooja at 17 November, 2009, 6:56 am
The “Away” status appears automatically after your computer has been inactive for a period of time that is equal to the Wait time for your screen saver.
To manually specify “Away” as a status:
- Click File, click My Status, and then click Away.
To change the length of inactive time before your status becomes “Away,”:
- Either change the screen saver Wait setting in the Windows Display Properties dialog box.
- or, if you want to specify a time other than the screen saver Wait time, change the inactivity time in the Windows Messenger Options dialog box.
To change the Windows screen saver Wait setting:
- Right-click the Windows Desktop, and then click Properties.
- Click the Screen Saver tab, and then type the appropriate number of minutes in the Wait box. (You must have a screen saver selected.)
- Click Apply.
The screen saver Wait time automatically appears in the Windows Messenger Options dialog box as the default “Away” status wait time.
To select an “Away” status wait time that is different from your screen saver Wait time:
- In Windows Messenger, on the Tools menu, click Options.
- Click the Preferences tab.
- In the Show me as “Away” when I’m inactive for box, type the number of minutes.
This number overrides the screen saver setting and is the time that elapses before Away appears next to your name on the list.

USB Flash drives are a cheap way of storing files but due to their size, they can be misplaced pretty easily.
Although replacing them may not be a big deal for your wallet, your files falling into the wrong hands can be disastrous. To ensure your data is kept safe, it is best to encrypt your USB Flash drives.
You can buy USB Flash drives that have encryption built in, but a more inexpensive alternative is to download an encryption program to secure your personal files.
There are a few options out there:
Each of these options will allow you to download software. Follow the instructions to encrypt the files you do want anyone else to see.
Keeping your files secure on your USB Flash drive will give you piece of mind the next time you lose one.
