Extending 'lock out' time.


When I leave my PC for a short period (about 5 mins.) it automatically asks for my password in order to regain access. Is there any way in which I can extend this time to,say, 30 minutes. I have searched through security settings, but can't find anything relating to this particular function.
Your help appreciated.

Isn't that part of the Screensaver configuration ?

Thanks. So it is. Maximum is 16.6 minutes, which is better than it was I suppose.

Just realised that I can disable it completely.
