Looking for idle computer password program

[SlantNGo]

There is an option somewhere to adjust the "idle" time after the screen saver shows up such that you don't have to enter your password. I'm not sure if this option is in the Display Settings or in TweakUI. If it's in TweakUI, just Google it and download it.

Check the "on resume password protect" box in the screen saver tab under your monitor properties.

I've done this and it sometimes works and asks for a password to get back on the computer. However, many times it doesn't work and as soon as I move the mouse it turns back on without requiring a password. This usually happens when I'm away for a couple hours as was the case just a minute ago.

Any ideas on what I should do to make it always require a password when the mouse/keyboard is touched?

Beavis nailed it. I have my laptop setup that way and it works pefectly.

I have a question off the subject....you mentioned data mining Party. Can that still be done? I used to do it alot back before they changed the software so that to get the hand histories, you have to be seated at the table and dealt cards. Is there some other way to get that HH I don't know about? I'd love to be able to data mine again.

the mouse thing only works if you do it right as it pops up the screen saver.

of course, you have to have a password set to log in for it to work.

P.S. If you don't know what I mean, I'm telling you to go read the FAQ. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
