Enable "lock workstation" upon exit #48

Closed upacrk1 closed 8 years ago

upacrk1 commented 8 years ago

Hi! I just discovered your screensaver software and am testing it. So far I like it, but I find a feature missing - upon exiting the screensaver display, it would be great to lock the computer (ie, C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation). I hope this will be an included option in some future version.

Thanks much!

Mike

As far as I know this facility is provided by Windows in Screen Saver Settings if you check the option: On resume, display logon screen. (Start > Control Panel > Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Change Screensaver)

Hi Marijn!     Yes, you're right.  I've had it checked when I was using the default MS photo screensaver.  I just realized that the installation of your software had unchecked it (the default, I think).  I now have it checked and everything works as expected.  Thanks for the speedy reply and for the great software! Regards,Mike Thommes

Hi Mike Thommes,

The RPS installation shouldn't influence the logon setting, which version of Windows are you using?

Cheers,

Marijn.
