Why do I have to put in a password when screensaver comes on now?

Recently (I guess vaguely after I installed my iPod perhaps) I have to input my windows login password when I get the screensaver off. I'm trying to change this back but the setting that I thought would do it didn't work (which is in Control Panel > Power > Input password after standby > no). Anything I can do to see this gone?

Running Windows XP SP2 if that helps.
 
nope wrong place

desktop -> right click -> properties -> screen saver -> unclick password protect on resume
 
Should be control panel --> display --> screen saver tab --> uncheck 'on resume, password protect'.
 
This is such a usefull feature. :)

Take your pick on how you want to disable it, both mothods above are the same thing.
