    Right-click Desktop.

    Click Personalize.

    Click Screen Saver.

    Choose a screen saver if you want.

    Select the amount of time you want it to make Vista go to the Logon screen. (where it says Wait: "10" minutes.)

    Check the box On resume, display logon screen

    There you go!
