I use a Mac. I run Parallels to run Windows. My Mac turns on its password-protected screensaver after about 30 minutes. My virtual PC turns its on after about 15 minutes. So I ended up having to enter my password fairly often. This was a real nuisance. I thought I couldn't change this because my IT group had locked the option out of the display properties, which seems odd because I have administrative rights on the VM.
But then I discovered that I could solve the problem by tweaking the registry:
HK_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Policies -> Microsoft -> Windows -> Control Panel -> Desktop
Set ScreenSaverIsSecure = 0.
