You probably can do it using Control Panel/display properties - screen saver
where you would uncheck the option to password protect the screen saver. For
Group Policy the setting is located under user configuration/administrative
templates/control panel/display - password protect screen saver which you
could set to disabled. If your computer is part of an Active Directory
domain you may not be able to disable it if administrators have configured
the screen saver to lock the computer. --- Steve
