Macro to control screen saver
 

helmekki,

Your path may be different: find where OSA.EXE resides on your machine.

Sub RunScreenSaverProgram()
program = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\OSA.EXE -s"
TaskID = Shell(program, 1)
End Sub

The password setting is controlled by the usual routine: properties from the
desktop.
