You can protect the Gateway PCs from user manipulation by enabling
a password protected screen saver. It is suggested that a Blank (or
Default) screen saver be used to prevent the screen saver from
using valuable processor time. This can be done by doing the following:
- Right-click with the mouse on the Windows desktop, then select the "Properties" menu item.
- The "Display Properties" window will pop up. Click on the tab labeled "Screen Saver".
* In Windows 2000, select "Default Screen Saver" from the drop down list.
* In Windows NT / 98, select "Blank Screen" from the drop down list.
- Check the check-box next to "Password Protected".
- Note that you must set the password in Windows 98 by clicking on
the "Change" button next to the "Password Protected" check-box. When
"Password Protected" is enabled on a Windows NT or 2000 computer only
the user that logged on or an administrator for the computer can bring
the computer back out of the locked state. In Windows 98 you must enter
the password that you set above.
