Windows XP Screen Saver Password

Posted in Microsoft, Windows at 4:25 pm by Keith

Question: Hey Keith, Can you tell me how to make it so that this computer shuts down after, like 30 seconds if you walk away…and then it forces you to put in your password. You had this set up before, and it was great. I think people are using this computer when I am not here, and we need to just block usage…let me know if I can do it, but if not, it can wait until the weekend or so.

Answer: Start > Control Panel > Display > Screen Saver (tab) > set ‘Wait’ to 1 minute, make sure ‘On resume, password protect’ is checked.
