I'm running a second computer on which i get the following message as a screen saver "Secure Windows desktop detected, you must uncheck the password checkbox to display the screen saver"

BOINC 4.19 / Windows XP Pro

Be easy on me i'm new to this;

Oh! and would it be possible to use a batch file at screen saver startup to vary graphic options from time to time?
Didn't think i'd like it
I do!

If you right click the desktop choose properties and click the screensaver tab, is there a tick in a box (marked on resume password protect) that can be unticked?
