How can we delete the file that stores the screen saver password.

Is this part of their PWL file?

Cheers

The Screensaver password is not stored in the .PWL file. To disable it you will need to run regedit.
In Win95 goto HKey LocalUser\ControlPanel\desktop
Delete the entry Screensave_data.
As always make a backup of the registry before hand.
Win98 should be similar
