This
is probably a dumb question, but what password is used when you force security
via a screen saver and logon script? Does it use the users network
password as the screen saver password?
Every native NT/2000/XP screen saver will operate in this fashion (as
opposed to how Win9x/ME works)
You can force the settings with System Policies or by editing the
registry directly:

Hey All,
Just wondering if anyone knows of a screen
saver or something that will lock a NT Workstation if it isnt used for X
minutes. We have a machine behind reception which is used for DB Queries
and everyone always leaves it loged in. Ive decided to make it hard for
them by having the workstation lock if they dont use it for 5 minutes.
That way the next person to use it will have to track down the previous
user to unlock it. Im sure the annoyance will fix it REALLY
quick!!!
Any ideas how i could achieve this, i dont want
a screensaver password i want the workstation locked.
Tanx
