microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin

In answer to your questions:

- There is no option to enable password protection.
- It is not grayed out, it doesn't appear at all.
- I do not use automatic logging. We have 3 user accounts and you must log
on in the welcome screen.
- These are with the Windows XP screensavers

Thanks,
Joe M.
