Setting up a screen saver for security

[bmw]

Could someone please tell me how to set up a screen saver for
security. I would like it set up so a password is needed to get past
the screen saver. I'm running windosxp. Also , are there any free
screen savers out there?

Thanks in advance,
BMW

Hi,

Control Panel/Power Options/Advanced, enable the line "prompt for =
password when computer resumes from stand-by".

In addition to Rick's advice, right click the Desktop, select Properties,
Screen Saver and check the box On resume............

Yes, there are additional free screen savers out there. A web search for
Windows XP Screen Savers should turn up some hits.
