Windows Security

__Eliminate Password-Protection on the Screensaver

It is possible to deactivate password protection in screensaver mode using the registry. To do this, open RegEdit, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\desktop, assign a value of 0 (zero) to the key ScreenSaveUsePassword
The password is now but a memory:)

__Lock the desktop

To avoid having too many icons cluttering up the desktop, there's a way to keep them "stuck" to the desktop. With RegEdit go into HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer and right-click New/DWORD Value in the right-hand window, name it NoSaveSettings.
Double-click on it and assign it a value of 1.

__Delete/Lock Elements in the Start Menu

Open Regedit and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer. You can set options by putting the following character strings after 01:

* Noclose: Stops Windows from shutting down
