screensavergraceperiod not working
- by Ralf
Good Morning,
in windows XP there is a registry setting called ScreenSaverGracePeriod which lets you set a time period between the activation of the screensaver and locking of the screen.
As as result, as soon as you see the screensaver beeing activated, you have X seconds to press a key or move the mouse in order to avoid having to log in again.
Unfortunately, this setting isn't working on my machine. I tried everything I could find on the net (setting the period as stirng or number), but it still does not work.
Could it be that some kind of security suite (Symantec) or anything else is blocking this feature?
Cheers,
Ralf
