User accounts problem
As I'm off to a LAN this weekend and my PC will be unattended for various periods of time, I was going to set up an user account so no one can get in after a few minutes.
Usually it's just a matter of me going to control panel and user accounts and ta da. Did that today, and it comes up with a script error :undecided: Is there anyway of setting up a user account without going that way round about it? I'm using XP Pro. Doesn't have to be excessively fancy, just want to keep it password protected If not, I guess I'll just take the kettle lead with me every time I go to work or something similar.

Noob question but how do you change the password on the screensaver?
You can set it to password protect but I can't find an option to change the password :/

It's the same as your account login password, you change that in the Control Panel.

How'd you change your login password if you can't access user accounts?
Although I'll have a look to see if I can remember what it is, it's been a while

The screensaver password defaults to your logon password. If you don't have a logon password, you won't be able to set a screensaver password.
Sorry I can't help more at the moment - will see if I can come up with something. Stan

Yeah I've just checked that It comes up but as there's no password, it's easy to skip past.
