Working as a Programmer in a Company i have to deal with Windows XP, since they are installed on our Machines. That includes a Windows Server where we are connected together.
Now normally i configured a Screensaver with Password to activate after a period of time so nobody can make nonsense here.
Unfortunately WinXP is not as secure as i thougth. Althought the Screensaver is active i am able to activate the special keys on my Logitech Keyboard and Start my Browser, Email, Media Player etc.
In my Opinion if the Password has to be entered to get back, you should also not be able to start anything without that Password. I think it's a serious breach, even when you can not do anything but start programs, that should not be possible.
To be complete, i always have the latest updates installed through automatic update.
