I know it's possible for XP to go back to a "Workstation Locked" screen after the screensaver, but is it possible to not use a screensaver at all, and just have it lock the workstation after 5 minutes?
Thanks

Not tried it but how about.
Create a scheduled task to run after the workstation is idle for 5 mins and have it run
%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation
I'll give it a go, cheers.
did it work? something i would like aswell, though would it cause problems with playing dvds and stuff?
Nah it didnt :/
Might have to make a logoff program and run that as an scr?
I tried Jiff Lemons idea and it worked for me on win 2k.
Right click in Scheduled tasks folder > new task
right click new task > properties
paste: %windir%\System32\rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation into the run box
Set your password + username in run as section
Click schedule tab and set the schedule task to When idle
Set time for 5 mins.
I only typed that out because using the wizard to set it up didnt work for me so try that![]()
Works now, didn't enter the user/password![]()
