I think the point that the original poster was trying to make was that activating the screen saver every time the computer was put to sleep was just a way to secure the computer a little bit more than by having no protection at all. So, even though the best way to secure a computer is by physically locking it, it does make sense to turn on the password protection in the screen saver and I also wish that there would be an option to automatically turn on the screensaver when the computer goes to sleep. I'll try to see what could be done from a programming point of view later tonight... -Laurent. -- =========================================================================== Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Washington, DC, USA ************************* Usual disclaimers apply ************************* -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
