Disable screensaver logon screen

[Dex]

I want to disable the logon screen after my monitor switches off, but
the 'on resume, display logon screen' check box on the screen saver
settings is ticked and greyed out, so I cant alter it.

I've tried the Disable_Log_on_Screen_Saver.reg from
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/55389-log-screen-saver-enable-disable.html

How do I enable it to disable the logon screen?

Are you on a domain (i.e., is this the company's workstation)? Company-
defined policies get pushed onto their workstation that can effect
behaviors, like screen savers. If your computer is a workstation in
your company's domain (whether locally on their network or remotely via
VPN from your home or somewhere off their network to connect into their
network) then they can push policies onto your computer.

Nope, my own home PC.

Do you actually have a screen saver selected?

You did not mention which *edition* of Windows 7 that you have. If not
a Home edition, use the group policy editor (gpedit.msc) to check if a
policy has been defined in the registry that disables the screen saver
password feature.

Option 3 - Using the group policy editor

If the "Password protect the screen saver" option is disabled then that
option won't be available. If it is enabled or set "not configured"
then that option will be available.

I believe the install-time default is "not configured". So if it is
different then you, someone else, a tweaker you installed, some security
software installed, you got it as a used computer that was previously
used in a company's network and their domain pushed the policy, or
something modified that policy setting.
