Every
native NT/2000/XP screen saver will operate in this fashion (as opposed to how
Win9x/ME works)
You
can force the settings with System Policies or by editing the registry
directly:

Subject: Screen Saver to Lock WorkstationHey All,
Just wondering if anyone knows of a screen saver or something that will lock a NT Workstation if it isnt used for X minutes. We have a machine behind reception which is used for DB Queries and everyone always leaves it loged in. Ive decided to make it hard for them by having the workstation lock if they dont use it for 5 minutes. That way the next person to use it will have to track down the previous user to unlock it. Im sure the annoyance will fix it REALLY quick!!!
Any ideas how i could achieve this, i dont want a screensaver password i want the workstation locked.
Tanx
