Problem With Screensaver

lack of security?

Thursday, March 15, 2007 by xTheWolfx | Discussion: Keyboard LaunchPad

Ok, so sometimes I walk away from my comp, and dont want my friends screwing with my comp. So I have my screensaver set to ask for my password on resume. This works perfectly, except when I activate the screensaver manually using Keyboard LP.

I currently have it set up to launch my screensaver whenever I hit Ctrl+S
But as said above, it's totally worthless for security, and Never  asks me for my password. What can I do so that when I manually activate it using Keyboard LP, it aks for my password like it normally would if I just let the screensaver come up naturally.

Thanks In Advance.

Hmm . . I just created a element that uses the system command to start the screensaver and was prompted for password.
No help here, sorry.
