Hi Randy,
AFAIK, there is no easy way to quickly display a Password Protected Screen Saver. However, if being able to quickly lock your
desktop is an acceptable solution, then create a new shortcut using this for the location:
%windir%\system32\rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation
And use any, or all, of these methods for rapid access:
1. Three key access method:
Put it on your Desktop, right-click it and assign whatever CTRL+ALT+key shortcut you want to use
2. Two key access method (if you have a keyboard with a Windows Key)
Put the LockWorkStation shortcut on your Start Menu.
Begin its name with a unique character. That is, anything other than the beginning character of any other shortcuts you have on
the Start Menu, and the keyboard navigation indicators (P, D, S, C, H, R).
Then, to lock your workstation all you have to do is tap the Windows key and tap unique beginning character.
3. Mouse access:
Put a LockWorkStation shortcut in your Quick Launch toolbar.
The Screen Saver will display when the "Wait" time set on Screen Saver tab of Display Properties elapses.
