Is there a way to disable widget locker? I don't want to uninstall it but I'd like to disable it. Can't find anything in the settings. Any ideas?
thanks!!
Open widgetlocker app>Menu>Settings>Unclick the radial button that's to the right of "WidgetLocker Enabled".
Wow, can't believe I missed that!! Never even saw the check mark! 
Thanks so much for not judging!
My original issue was every time I had an app opened and got side tracked and my screen timed out the app would close and I'd be back to my home screen. very annoying if I'm in the middle of balancing my checkbook or whatever! And I can't figure out how to keep the app open once the screen times out. Without Widget Locker when I would turn the screen back on it would go back to whatever I was working on. So I figured I'd disable it and see how much I'll miss it. If anyone has any ideas about that I'd appreciate it.
Again thanks for helping out us "airheads"!!!

No worries. That's what we're here for.
FYI-It shouldn't be doing that. I do that all the time, using widgetlocker, and as soon as I unlock it goes back to the app I was using. I would search through the settings to make sure that you don't have something set that forces the phone to go back to the main homescreen (which, from what I remember, there may be a setting that you can turn off from doing that).
-EDIT- I just found the setting that does that:
Open Widget Locker>Menu>Settings>Advanced>Uncheck Always Unlock to Home

I knew there had to be a setting I was missing!! Again, I thank you for your help..
As a rule of thumb, anytime you download any app that is used for the functionality of your phone, I always recommend checking all of the settings first.
I go into the settings menu for every app I download, but it's in my personality to do make sure I check everything that the app can do, prior to actually using it.
