Craig,
I DO accept comments as answer if the comment really works. Instead of storing in a pwl file, I've heard that the password of the screen saver is stored in the registry.
Tim,
Your "answer" works well...... ;-)

That's why only a "C" is given to him. (The lowest grade of "Accept comment as answer)
If he/she submitted it as answers, I would give "D" even.
Anyway, Craig, thanks for your help.

end.
P.S sorry for making this an Answer but i am fed up with people putting answers as comments and taking the points for it, until EE has changed this, i will continue to do this.....
That code will stop a Screen saver from running, and i'm sure theres a pwl file you can delete to stop the password from working...
