Help/Explain Text: Determines whether screen savers used on the computer are
password protected. If you enable this setting, all screen savers are
password protected. If you disable this setting, password protection cannot
be set on any screen saver. This setting also disables the Password
protected check box on the Screen Saver tab in Display in Control Panel,
preventing users from changing the password protection setting. If you do
not configure this setting, users can choose whether or not to set password
protection on each screen saver. To ensure that a computer will be password
protected, also enable the Screen Saver setting and specify a timeout via
the Screen Saver timeout setting. Note: To remove the Screen Saver tab, use
the Hide Screen Saver tab setting.
