Simple Question for the XP Gurus
 

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...

yes you can

right-click on desktop--screen saver--on resume, password protect

It's on the screen saver settings screen..

yep :glugglug

in a perfect world we could all trust eachother and there would be no passwords

why god why

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh


amen to that brotha....hell at least I'm not feeling the need to cmos pass this thing...

it's just a knob of a relative I'm having a hard time trusting lately, can't wait until they're an ex....

HAHAHAHHA thats no good at all

best of luck to you
you could always put up barb wire or an electric fence

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?
