Hi Scott,
Well, the problem is that when I go to set a
non-admin account I get the msg that some
programs may not work properly. That worries
me. Then I see that it appears the different
accounts save things in different areas. I've
got enough to remember where one account saves
things let alone two. Just how much of a
difference am I going to find this will be by setting a non-admin account?
I tried my favorite screensaver and on resume it
will not display the password protected window to
get back in. I have all my "turn off
monitor/drives" set to "never" so timing them doesn't appear to be the problem.
Thanks,
Deb

Protect yourself by giving only _your_ account
Administrator access, and _never_ giving the
account's password to anyone else; anyone coming
in on another account will not be able to access
system user account settings even if they want
to, if you ensure that only your account has admin access.
With respect to your screensaver, I'm not
exactly sure what you're saying. AFAIK, any
screensaver, third-party or otherwise, can be
set to require password on resume. Right-click
the desktop, select Properties, then select the
screensaver tab. Check the box that says, "On
resume, display Welcome screen," or, "On resume,
require password," depending upon your version.
This will cause your Welcome screen (which is
nothing but a full-screen password dialog) to
display when exiting the screensaver, which
makes sense--you might not want the current
contents of your desktop displayed to someone
while the system awaits a valid password for access.
