Simple Question for the XP Gurus - GoFuckYourself.com

In an older version of windows I recall having the ability to pass protect my computer once the screen saver turned on...does XP still have this? I can't find that setting anywhere...

thanks in advance...

ok, what I'm seeing is this...

on desktop, right click, properties, screen saver tab, then click box that says "on resume, display windows screen"

but nothing about the password, I'm assuming I need to make my 'windows' screen passworded somewhere else?

To open Display, click Start, click Control Panel, click Appearance and Themes, and then click Display.
Selecting the On Resume, password protect check box will lock your computer when the screen saver is activated. When you begin working again you will be prompted to type your password to unlock it.
Your screen saver password is the same as your logon password. If you do not use a password to log on, you cannot set a screen saver password.
