INFO: Is it possible to generate password-protected screensavers?

The information in this article applies to:

  • Swiff Saver 2

Yes. Every Screensaver built with Swiff Saver supports the standard screensaver password protection offered on Windows platforms. In addition, Swiff Saver offers you the ability to also protect your screensaver installation program. Each time the end user tries to install your screensaver, he can be prompted to enter the password of your choice.

To activate the screensaver password protection on Windows XP (other systems are similar), follow the steps below:

  1. Open Display in Control Panel.
  2. On the Display dialog box, select the Screen Saver tab.
  3. Select the On resume, password protect check box.
    If Fast User Switching is turned on, select the On resume, display Welcome screen check box.

Selecting the On Resume, password protect check box will lock the computer when the screen saver is activated. When you begin working again you will be prompted to type your password to unlock it.

To password-protect a screensaver installation program, follow the steps below:

  1. Select the Setup menu.
  2. Select the Protect the Setup by a password.
  3. Type your password in the associated text box.
