I used to have something in Tiger where in the upper right menu by the time it had a padlock and I could "lock the screen" to where you'd need a pw to get back in... I can't seem to find in the preferences where that icon's setting is. I know its there somewhere...I'm an idiot, help me out. Thanks

System Preferences -> Security -> checkbox to Require password to wake this computer from sleep or screen saver

I think this option used to be in the Screen Saver CP, which is why you aren't finding it now.

Reader50, thanks for responding...But, I have that checked. So after my screensaver turns on, I have to enter password to get back in. This was a little padlock next to the Time/Date that had an option to lock the screen... Hrmm, dunno

Ok, my friend found it:

Applications -> Utilities -> Keychain Access -> Preferences Menu
