Yes, it IS possible!!

I am running Windows XP Pro and have recently upgraded
from Office XP to Office 2003.

On the Office XP toolbar there used to be a shortcut to
screensaver that allowed the password protection to still
work. Many discussion groups wrongly state that this
shortcut doesn't provide the password protection. I think
that this is only the case when the shortcut is to a
particular .scr file, rather than the general screensaver
function.

MSoft have ditched the toolbar in Office 2003 and I can't
find the target of the Office XP toolbar shortcut.

Does anyone know a work around or the original target in
Office XP?

Carey,

I had this WORKING under Office XP!! My screensaver WAS
password protected when starting the screensaver from the
shortcut provided with the Office XP toolbar.

It is only if you create the shortcut yourself that the
password protection doesn't work. My query was "how do I
get it working under Office 2003?" as I have had it
working under Office XP.

Many thanks
