I am using a resource account on the network for some of my XP Pro
Service Pack 1 machines. For some reason the screen saver - on
resume, password protect is checked and grayed out so i cannot
uncheck this option. I don't want these users to have to put in a
password. Is there a registry key which I can change or delete
which will give me access to this checkbox again?

Domain member machine?
