I have a computer system that, during work hours, I don't want it to
password-protect when it goes into screensaver mode. However, I would
like to schedule a VB utility to run that will enable the screensaver
password at certain times and disable it at other times.

Using Windows 2000 Server.

Any advice would be helpful.

PS - I always want the screensaver enabled, just the password
protection to be switched.
