Lock Computers on Screensaver

The company I work for currently runs a Windows NT 4.0 domain controller. I am trying to figure out how to set it up so that when a user's computer is idle for 10 minutes it will go to screensaver and lock itself. Thus far I have not had any luck finding the option anywhere within the policies. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have looked a little bit into logon scripts but have not been successful.

    I don't know about NT 4. But in 2000 the policy is in:
    User Configuration>Administrative Templates>Control Panel>Display
    You need to make screen savers active, specify which one to run and set the password lock to enable.

    NT 4.0 has a different way of getting there but doesn't seem to have the screen saver option. The only options available are to disable items that users would normally get by right clicking the desktop and selecting properties.

    NT4, classic... Do your clients run the same OS?

    No, the clients are running Windows XP and Windows 2000.

    You really should upgrade your server to 2003
