- I've seen in previous postings that the screen saver files are actually
- executable programs. I copied the SSSTARS.SCR to a file called STARS.EXE,
- added it to my MAIN group and set up a short cut key to turn on the
- screen saver. Now with the click of a mouse, or CTR-ALT-S, I get a password
- locked screen. BTW you need to add a /S parameter to the command line
- otherwise it comes up in config mode.
-
- And.... if you add it to your startup group then you get around the re-boot
- problem.
-
- Good Luck
