Here's my situation:

I've got a minecraft server running inside a restricted Windows user account, and I'm using a main account for everything else. So, two Windows user accounts are always logged on simultaneously.

With both users logged in, this works quite well, and I've got not issues.

However, it seems that Windows closes the minecraft server user account for being idle at least once every 24h... how can I prevent it from doing that? I literally want that account running in the background 24/7 unless I log out.

Any ideas?

UPDATE: For anyone who has the same request, I ended up finding a small app that sends a keystroke every so often, and lets windows know that there's still an active user present. Almost like a mouse jiggler, but with a keystroke. There are several of these apps available, and most are called "caffeine" or some variant of that. LOL Been running this app for nearly a week and the user remains logged in :)
