OT - computer settings...

Hello,
How do I set my computer so that after it has been idle for 5
minutes, you have to re-enter a password? I can't find where I would
change that...

I use Windows XP and use a screensaver to come on after a certain amount of
idle time. There is a setting in the screensaver window to have it require
a password when you stop the screensaver.

Right click on your desktop, select Properties, select the Screensaver tab.
Next to the window where you select the number of minutes before your
screensaver kicks in, there is a check box for the password. Hope this
helps.

On your desktop right click the mouse, properties. It's under your
screen saver program.
