How to activate Screansaver at system start.

[Ebbe]

I have sensitive data on my pc, and have for that reason activated a the
screensaver and locked my pc with a password.
When working at home I normally deactivate the screensaver and screen lock
because I do not expect any of the household is interested in some companies
financial affairs.
However I sometimes forget to reactivate the screensaver and screen lock
when I am back on work.
Now is the question.
Is it possible to activate screensaver automatically every time Windows
starts?

I believe you should be able to simply put a shortcut to one of the *.scr files (in \windows\system32) in your startup group (or in one of the Run keys in the registry). That will run the screen saver at startup.

Hey guy, if this is really sensitive data, and its on a laptop, it should be
encrypted. What if this computer is stolen.
Don't ask me for your services unless you protect your sensitive data
better.

1. Bios password

2. Windows Password

3. Encrypted file or partition with revert to encrypted if not accessed
often

4. Maybe lock your computer in a box or safe if you are not using it.

5. Use these precautions always, everytime you use computer, no matter when
or where.
