Has anyone seen or have a REG patch that will prevent screensaver passwords? I have a Patch that disables the whole screensaver page from display properties, But I don't want to disable the use / changing of screensavers.

Thanks in Advance,

Alabaster...I need some more information. Do you want the change screen saver program in Display properties not to appear at all, or do you want to just shut off the screen saver password so you don't have to type one in?

Try this REG patch to totally disable the use of screen saver passwords:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"ScreenSaveUsePassword"=dword:00000000
"0" to disable "1" to enable.

go to start then settings, then customize my
active desktop, then click the tab that says screensavers, there should be a password protected box that you can leave unchecked or checked if you want to submit your password when your PC goes on standby. It is this way with my PC, and I'm using the platform Windows98se. and IE5.5 Hope this helps. and GOD BLESS.Lori Foroozandeh
