Thanks for the prompt response.

Going to Win2K is not an option although the machines are P3/800 with 128mb RAM and 10/20gb disks. Rather it's the money for licenses. Down here Win2k OEM is about $140 additional and the client is a charity with tight budget control. We did a turnkey operation with 50+ new workstations and the additional money was not available. Frankly they under estimated the numbers of users and we are currently scrounging to get the additional workstations.

Users are a collection of salaried staff and volunteers with varied abilities.

They all log in and log out at the start and end of the day but often walk away from their stations leaving the screensaver.

I'm aware that the security with Win9x is not all that good but they MUST log on with a valid paasword and can't get access to the local workstation by pressing Cancel at the Logon. There are probably only 1 or 2 at the site who "might" understand that the password access on screensavers can be bypassed. They're really not a worry.

Isn't often said that locks are designed to inconvenience honest folk. The determined professional will get around the lock?

I'll see if I can get a screen saver using the logon password.

Michael.
