Making user enter a password when exiting the screen saver
#1
If you are away from your computer with the screen saver on, there is a simple way to keep unwanted people from using it when you are not there. The solution is to add the password feature to your screen saver. Doing this will prompt the user to enter a password before exiting the screen saver and entering Windows. This way, only those who know the password will be allowed to continue. To do this:

* Right-click an empty spot on your Desktop and click Properties.
* Click the Screen Saver tab once you are there.
* Click the Password Protected checkbox.
* Click Change and enter your password.

Now, when someone wants to access your computer from the screen saver, they must enter a password.
