And you are not asking them because .. why? There are different ways to do this. And different reasons to do so. Are you sure you don't just want to ask them about it?\n\nIf it's a company policy, trying to override that policy could be risky to keeping your job.

Go to My Computer->Control Panel->Display->Screen Saver.  If you want to, you can just turn them all off by choosing <None>.  But you may also choose to turn it to a different one, or Blank Screen.  "Blank Screen" is just that; it will go to black.  "None" means it will never turn off the page you are looking at, no matter how long you go away and leave it.  That's hard on the monitor.  That is, if you leave your monitor showing the same static display for a long time, you can burn it.  Then you have a ghost of the page when you go on to other things, and you shorten the life of your monitor.\n\nHowever, you may also find that there are other screen savers on there you didn't even know you had, because Windows generally comes with a variety of them.  Why not change around sometimes, but still give your monitor the saving?  Or even download some of the millions of free ones out there, and come to love your screen saver as much as I love mine.  It's from Scholastic Books, and has a lot of pictures from the Harry Potter series.  Very cool!

Depends on how long ur gonna leave it 'idle' for, if its for more than 5 hours, turn it off (eg over night) any less and i'd say let the screen saver run.\n\nOr better yet, use the hibernation option :D It saves all work on ur pc in temp memory than shutsdown, once restarted it opens all the programs that were open previously :D

I bit tough without knowing what OS youre running. Try www.download.com  and run a search. Here is a link to that site for a free screen saver maker program for WinXP. Site very legit but you judge the products.\n\nhttp://www.download.com/PowerToys-Fun-Pack/3000-2339_4-10279479.html?tag=lst-0-3

Yes depending on the screen saver.  Stay away from some of the freeware downloads because they are either spyware or you get a lot of spam once you register.

You can't.\n\nYou can however adjust the amount of time it takes for the screensaver to activate: Right click on your desktop> select screensaver tab> adjust minutes.\n\nAlso, if you use WinXP pro, have fast user switching enabled, AND have your screensaver set to use the login page, you can simply press (and hold) the Windows key and then press 'L'. That will lock your account and display the login screen - which will also be displayed if the screen saver activates and you come back to the computer.\n\nHope that helps... somehow ;)\n\nJ

If you have to leave you laptop for a while a screen saver does two thing for you \n1: It prevent the screen from having a burn in image.\n2: If you set a password it will block others from accessing your files while you are away.Coffe break,ETC.

Increase the screen saver time out by right clicking in a blank spot on your desk top and selecting properties, then the screen saver tab. Or you can unclick the password option on the same screen and windoze will return to where you were upon exit from screen saver.

For your own system, WinXP has the "my pictures' screensaver built in. Just select it as your screensaver and tell it where your photos are.\n\nIf you want an installable screen saver, you would need to get some software to do that job for you.\n\nSuch as Acdsee. Just search Yahoo for "screensaver generator". You will find some stuff there.

Quick answer: Do a search for all files that end in SCR.  That's the extension for a screen saver.  For example, do a find/search of your entire hard drive (probably C:) for *.scr (the * being a wildcard).  Some complicated screen savers require more than one file to run, but this should get most, if not all of them for you.  If you don't know how to burn files to a cd, post that (along with your cd burning software name) as another question.  Hope this helps!

Just as "yalsh" said. A password protected screen-saver will lock out the screen. If you are using a Macintosh, then open the Security tab under System Preferences and select Require User Name and Password when resuming from sleep or screen-saver.\n\nAlso whether you are using XP or OS X, considering setting up hot-corners for the screen-saver, so it can be activated instantly if need be.\n\nThe other viable option for you to consider, is to use the switch users command, without logging out of your current user. This allows you to return to the main log in screen and requires you to input your password before resuming. This is especially useful if you have multiple user accounts on one machine and other need access to their accounts.

alt + PrtScr(print screen) then paste into what ever image editing software you have then you can cut it out.\nOh, and make sure that, that is the active window other wise it doesn't work.\nI also realized that you could be trying to get what ever it's playing, but I'm sorry to say that as far as I know that doesn't work, and you'll have to have special software to do it. If you use printscreen it saves the boarder but not the actual play area.
