Please follow this procedure if you work in an office, or use a laptop where you wouldn't want others looking at your computer just because you've left your desk for a few minutes. After the timeout period you set, anyone trying to use the computer will have to type in your password. It can be a nuisance if you set the timeout too low, but it does add security. We suggest 5-15 minutes as a guide.
This assumes you have a password of course, but this is what you need to do.

- Choose the Blank screensaver
