    Hello all.

    I'm trying to force screensavers with password on a group of users, but have
    been unsuccessful to date. I must be missing something, but don't know what.

    My report from the GPMC is below. I'm running Win XP Pro SP2 clients on a
    native Win2000 Server network. Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions.

    User Configuration
    Administrative Templates
    Control Panel/Display

    Policy Setting
    Hide Screen Saver tab Enabled
    Password protect the screen saver Enabled
    Screen Saver Enabled

    Screen Saver executable name Enabled
    Screen Saver executable name ssstars.scr

    Policy Setting
    Screen Saver timeout Enabled
    Number of seconds to wait to enable the Screen Saver
    Seconds: 10
