How do I prevent the macbook from locking the screen when I shut the lid?

I move from room-to-room often throughout the day. When I do, I shut the lid of my laptop and move to the next room. Is there a way to avoid having my macbook lock the screen when I shut the lid? I'd prefer not to carry my laptop from room-to-room with the screen open since that's less secure and convenient.

I don't think you can prevent that from happening.


But what is the harm? Don't you just enter your password to resume where you left off?
