Re: Power Options - Disable Prompt for password when computer resumes from standby

Registry key on Vista is

ScreenSaverIsSecure (reg_sz type) - values 0 or 1

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

It may be similar on XP.

but you'll probably need more than a registry change, for it to take effect.
