- Engage password lock nn mins after sratup and nn mins after use
- Posted by ©® on March 3rd, 2006
XP System:
Is it possible to have the system password lock e.g. 1 minute after
login and then say 10 minutes after non-use?
The reason is, I would like to auto-login to my home PC on Windows
startup and have the password engage very quickly thereafter (incase I
am not at the PC).
But...once I work on the PC, I don't want to have to change screensaver
settings to make the time longer until password lock e.g. 10 minutes
because then on statup I would have to change it again.
Basically, I am wanting two different times for password activation: One
on startup and one for nn minutes after non-use of the PC.
Is it possible?
Thanks

Set your PC to log in automatically on startup, then add a shortcut to
your startup folder which will lock the system - no need to fiddle with
the screensaver...
IIRC, you should make the shortcut target :
rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation
