Windows XP and Windows2K handle password management on their own unlike
windows95/98 and their like, where the password-management was part of the
screensaver-programmer's job (and in most cases a security problem). Like
already said in this thread you can change your settings in the
_display_properties_ to have password protection in win2k/XP.
