Yes....I'm sure it is....I was just going through this
very thing. Open "Display Properties" in the Control
Panel.
On the Screen Saver tab, in the Screen Save list, click
the screen save you want to use.
Select the "Password protected" check box, and then
click "Change."
Type your password, and then confirm the password by
typing it again.

Selecting the "Password protected" check box locks your
computer when the screen saver is activated. When you
begin using your computer again, you are prompted to type
your password to clear the screen saver.

Good luck!
Shirley
