system’s method of restricting a user from doing this places other serious restrictions
on the account, such as losing the ability to change the login password, that make it

all users of the system.
This preference screen also allows configuration of the Hot Corner settings, which
allow a user to enable certain features, such as the screen saver, by placing the cursor
in a corner of the screen. To make locking the screen convenient, a Hot Corner to
activate the screen saver should be set for each user.
To configure the current account’s screen saver:
1. Start the System Preferences application.
2. Click on the Desktop & Screen Saver icon in the Personal row.
3. Click on the Screen Saver button (Figure 3).

Screen Saver panel.
6. Choose which corner is to be used as the hot corner for starting the screen
saver (Figure 4).
