How to: Assign a password to a screen saver.
Solution:
Double-click the 'Display' icon in Control Panel, and click the 'Screen Saver' tab. Select the 'Password protected' check box, and type the password.
NOTE: Use this feature with caution. Bypassing the screen-saver password (because of a forgotten password, for example) requires a cold boot, which is NOT recommended in Windows 95. A proper shut-down in Windows 95 is to choose the 'Start' button and select 'Shut Down...' from the 'Start' menu.
1) Click the 'Start' button to display the 'Start' menu.
2) Select 'Settings' and select 'Control Panel'. (The 'Control Panel' window appears.)
