Insecure Screen Saver


Posted:   |  More posts about life technology

The corporate policy setting on my work notebook always sets the screen saver to 15 minutes and require login password. I don't mind to have a screen save 15 minutes, but that login requirement... I just hate it! And I hate it mostly because the screen saver tab in the Display Properties dialog is disabled by the same policy!

Now I found the way to cheat on corporate policy - I created a simple .reg file, which will change one DWORD value:

HKCUSoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftWindowsControl PanelDesktopScreenSaverIsSecure = "0"

Ahh, back to work...
