How can I set and password protect a machine so it locks after a certain
period of inactivity? I don't want the user to be logged off though...

When I choose a screensaver to try and set it up, when I click on
"settings', it says "This screen saver has no options that you can set."

Hi Bryce,

If you don't have that option on the screen saver you want
to use, go to Power Options in Control Panel - Advanced
Tab and select "Prompt for password when computer
resumes from standby". And of course "System Standby"
will have to be set under the Power Schemes tab for this
to work.

Click to expand...

Along with the screen saver selection box, there is a check box 'On
resume, password protect'. With that you get back to the Welcome
screen, but just to give the name and password; not logged out
