Screen Saver Password Protection Policy

This restriction determines whether the screen saver is password protected and prevents users from changing the password-protection setting.

Open your registry and find the key below.

Create a new DWORD valued called "ScreenSaverIsSecure" and set it to a value from the table below.


  • (Not in registry) - Users can turn password-protection on and off.
  • 0 - Screen savers are not password-protected.
  • 1 - All screen savers are password-protected.

Restart Windows for the change to take effect.


Settings:
User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Control Panel\Desktop]
Name: ScreenSaverIsSecure
Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
