Hi John

It's password protection on the screensaver. This is set in the Screen
Saver tab of the display applet in Control Panel. If you want to do this
via group policy, you can find it under

User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Control Panel ->
Display -> Password protect the screen saver.

Kind regards

John,

This is a feature of the Windows Screen Saver. Simply open your display
properties and go to the screen saver tab and choose "on resume, password
protect" after enabling a screen saver.

You can also set this in group policy under "User
Configuration/Administrative Templates/Control Panel/Display" and change
the settings for Screen Saver, Screen Saver executable name, and Password
protect the screen saver. You would also want to set the screen saver
timeout setting.
