Password protect the screen saver

Administrative Template: System
Policy Node: USER
Policy Path: Administrative Templates\Control Panel\Display
Supported On: At least Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 1
Help/Explain Text: Determines whether screen savers used on the computer are password protected. If you enable this setting, all screen savers are password protected. If you disable this setting, password protection cannot be set on any screen saver. This setting also disables the Password protected check box on the Screen Saver tab in Display in Control Panel, preventing users from changing the password protection setting. If you do not configure this setting, users can choose whether or not to set password protection on each screen saver. To ensure that a computer will be password protected, also enable the Screen Saver setting and specify a timeout via the Screen Saver timeout setting. Note: To remove the Screen Saver tab, use the Hide Screen Saver tab setting.
Registry Settings: HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Control Panel\Desktop!ScreenSaverIsSecure
