i want to place a password to lock my cpu during a screensaver, i went to display propertys, clicked on the screensaver tab but the check box under it says "on resume, display welcome screen" instead of "On resume, password protect".
How do i place a password on my screensaver?
I would appreciate it if anyone could help.


If you want to display a password prompt, rather than returning to the Welcome screen, disable the Welcome Screen and use the classic login dialog.
