Lock PC with screensaver now!

Comment:

Somebody asked a while back, how to manually run a (by session) password protected screen saver in XP. According to M$ this is a silly security 'feature' (ie bug), disabled 'by design'. An easy way to overcome this new 'enhancedness', is to do it in an automated two fold process; ie, created a batch file similar to this: @START /WAIT /MIN /LOW %windir%\system32\sstext3d.scr / @%windir%\system32\rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation Just mod for your screensaver of choice; and create a shortcut in your desktop with your favorite shortcut key... and voila!
