| 741720 | 2009-01-24 20:27:00 | When our computer is unattended my kids crawl and attack our computer! Is there a program that if I do not touch or typed anything in 3 minutes the pc will lock itself??? | mark1978 (13845) | ||
| 741721 | 2009-01-24 20:31:00 | Its built into windows - called a screen saver :D - under the settings you can set it to lock the PC after no activity for a time you set, and it requires a password to unlock it. What version of windows do you have as XP and vista can do different things in different ways. |

| 741722 | 2009-01-24 20:32:00 | Just turn on screen saver with "password on resume", I believe is the easiest answer. And change wait time to 3 mins. |

| 741724 | 2009-01-24 20:39:00 | Just a thought - XP screen saver with password protect will work, BUT you have to have a password to log onto the computer when it first starts up, other wise the password box is blank (no Password) on the screen saver - so make sure the kids dont know the log in password. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 741725 | 2009-01-24 20:45:00 | If you would like a different screen saver to the ones that come with windows, have a look at the Matrix one here www.lewe.com My favourite is the Matrix Revolutions one. |

| 741726 | 2009-01-24 20:54:00 | Or an easier way, turn it off, put the computer somewhere else / shut the door | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 741727 | 2009-01-24 21:01:00 | Actually I find ticking a check box easier than moving a computer :p | pcuser42 (130) | ||
