Password Protected Screensaver - Exemptions

Some Windows PCs need to be exempted from the Windows protected screen saver.  These are generally kiosks, and virtual machines that run on hosts that already have protected screen savers.  For those situations where a protected screen saver should not operate, you may copy this deactivation script

\\ohare\public\tools\usr\local\sbin\ScreenSaverOff.vbs

to one of these locations:

(for WinXP) C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
(for Win7) C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
