Windows Vista–is there a way to put up a screensaver with a password?
my toddler continues to screw up everything on our computer…the only way to stop it is to shut down the computer when i am not using it..but i tend to be off and on the computer all day and hate waiting for everything to turn on and load back up…for some reason i cant seem to just lock the computer with a password, it just brings me to lock the computer . but all my son has to do is click on that box and he is back to the desktop and deleting files..help!
1. Right click your desktop and click Personalize.
2. Click Screensaver.
3. Use the drop down arrow to select your screensaver of choice.
4. Change the Wait value to specify how long the computer can remain idle before the screensaver is started.
5. Select the On resume, password protect option. If you do not select this option any activity will cause the desktop to appear.
