Hi Stuart

I am not a 100% clear on what you want to do. I can presume that you perhaps
want to delgate control on ScreenSaver passwords? Is this for Windows 98,
Workstations and or Windows 2000/XP workstations?

Hi
We are using XP workstations in 2003 domain. Some of my users work for us
only a couple of times a week (Doctors). We enforce password protected
screensavers on our PCs. The doctors work for a while and then leave, often
forgetting to log out. The permanent employees then can't use the PC because
the screensaver has kicked in. I'd like to give some users the ability to
unlock these workstations without having to call IT.
Thanks

While not a great fix, if you make those 'permanent' users Local
Administrators, they'll be able to unlock it when the doctor is away
