Screen Saver Password?

R

OK - dumb, dumb question, but I am used to setting a
screen saver password where I select the screen saver,
NOT as the password for the current user.

There are two reasons the difference is important to me:
with a user password, Norton Internet Security won't
work, and I have to protect my PC from my 4 year old when
I take a computer break.

Bottom line: What do you set in XP to allow you to set
screen saver-only passwords?

No. Once the screen saver goes active, if you choose to set a password, any
user on the machine can unlock it, and access their account.
