Hi All,

A lot of folks do not realize that if they have their
screen saver to to require a pasword to recover, that
it is possible toset a grace period before the lock
occurs. This is a typical setting in Linux, but
obscure in Windows.

Grace is nice to hvae as when the scrfeen saver
starts you can just wiggle the mouse and not hvae
to re-enter your password if you are in the
grace period.

Here is a sample .reg file to set your screen saver to

active
600 seconds (10 minutes)
Secure (enter a password to recover)
300 (12c) (5 min) grace period

:-)

-T

REGEDIT4
; screen saver settings for xxxx
; Note: ScreenSaveTimeOut is in seconds 600 sec = 10 minutes

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"ScreenSaveActive"="1"
"ScreenSaveTimeOut"="600"
"ScreenSaverIsSecure"="1"

; Note: ScreenSaverGracePeriod is also in seconds 0x12c = 300 seconds or
5 minutes
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"ScreenSaverGracePeriod"=dword:0000012c

It might be the difference in Windows versions but my Windows 10 exports .reg files with this as the first line:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

I'm supposing you want the login, and it's just the screen saver issue, but netplwiz will allow you to turn off that login necessity.

5 min grace period seems excessive. May as well have a 15 minute lock
period. Any more than 15 seconds and it's not a grace period IMO.
