How do I stop my computer from shuting down?

My g4 automaticly goes to the administrator window with the "shut down" and "restart" options after about 15 mins of no use. Ive checked the sleep function on the energy saver, and thats set for never. It doesnt turn off during dvd playback, but turns off half way through songs on itunes. Its getting annoying!!
 
You mean the Login window?
If you're running 10.3, go to the Security System Preference pane, and check to see if "Log out after ____ minutes of inactivity" is checked.
 
still, will this happen it if iTunes is still running? isn't itunes considered activity, or is it only if it is the "foreground" app it will be considered as active? meaning, you can put on a playlist, hide iTunes and the system will still go to sleep/log out if thats the preference stated?

seems somewhat akward if thats the way..

Hmm, good question. I'd say try it and find out! I know that my computer has 'spun down' while doing downloads and such, so I would say it would probably ignore iTunes.
