Masterfinn 0 Posted January 29, 2002 Hey, For some reason I can't find anywere in XP to set the screen saver password. Now im not an idiot and I have looked in every single place in the display properties and i cant seem to find it, or anywere else on my computer for that matter. This is probably a dumb question but can anyone out there tell me how to set a screen saver password on my computer. Im running WinXP Proffesional, and i dont have any fancy screen savers or anything. Thanx, Masterfinn Share this post Link to post
clutch 1 Posted January 29, 2002 Where you select your screensaver, you should see a checkbox below it that reads "On resume, password protect". This is what you are looking for. Share this post Link to post
Masterfinn 0 Posted January 29, 2002 Ya see thats what i thought to.. but its not there. the only check box that it has is "display welcome screen on resume"... nothing about password. I dont know whats going on.. Masterfinn Share this post Link to post
CounterCW 0 Posted January 30, 2002 Well, if you have a password to your account (Control Panel -> User Accounts), and you select "display welcome screen on resume", then it will essentially be password protected. (it's the equivalent of pressing Windows Key + L) Share this post Link to post
