If you want to force a 10 min screensaver timeout with password requirement,
go to the GP editor and open up this folder:
User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Control Panel, Display
Set the following items

Hide Screen Saver tab: enabled
Screen Saver: enabled
Screen Saver executable name: Set this to some standard
Password protect the screen saver: enabled
Screen Saver Timeout: 600 (seconds)
