Message: <blockquote data-quote="Danny Tanner" data-source="post: 1994054" data-attributes="member: 10619">If this is a DoD machine, just be cautious in doing this.  Besides the security purpose of locking your computer in the first place (which is probably a little exaggerated, but a security risk nonetheless), depending on your management/IT policies/network security team, if caught doing this you could have your account disabled and be forced to retake your IA test.  Mostly an inconvenience, but depending on your management, it can result in a disciplinary action.Also, if a DoD machine, be aware that .mp3s are not allowed, nor are flash/thumb/non-issued USB portable drives, or +R, or any R/W cds or dvds.Saying that, I was guilty of not only having mp3s on my DoD machine, but putting them on repeat so my machine wouldn't lock, even though I had a desk job so I suppose it wasn't too big of a deal if I was busy turned around chit chatting while my computer didn't automatically lock.  Coming from the IT side of DoD, mp3s are typically overlooked, but the flash/thumb/portable drive and the re-writable media policy is taken seriously, as they're huge network and security risks.</blockquote>
