Version: Matrix Screen Locker 1.44
Pros: This does what it's supposed to. It's easy to use and free. Hard to break the code. I tried believe me.
Cons: Pressing the restart butten makes it go away on starup. But thats easy to fix just disconnect the restart butten.

Version: Matrix Screen Locker 1.44
"It works fine and it is completely free"
Pros: This is a nice little program. Plain and simple, it works and it is free. Since install on all of our computers running Windows XP Pro it has worked fine and has continued to work on all of them after reboot. FYI, it does install a self starting .exe which you can choose to turn off in msconfig startup and just run it manualy when you need it. There are not any tweeks...no color changes...speed changes...it is like a light switch....it is on...or...off...plain and simple again.
Cons: None that I can find.

Version: Matrix Screen Locker 1.44
"Does not lock taskbar on startup - is just a screen saver."
Pros: I love the matrix scheme and simplicity of use.
Cons: ---I had the matrix 1.0 and a couple other versions. Somewhere along the way, it has lost two settings that were useful: The ability to set how many characters ran in the screen saver (lessening the power consumption and strain on the graphics card/CPU(s) and the ability to lock the taskbar, which leaves the PC open as if it wasn't locked. Running a dual core/dual Opteron workstation, without the ability to lessen the load, makes no difference, but a locker should lock* and the newer versions, to my disappointment, do not.
---My 15 year old daughter cracked this by clicking on the icon for the browser three times, thus burying the screen saver in the background.
---It was* a great utility and if Windows was stable, I would still have version 1.2 (IIRC, was the best version).
---My review on the version 1.4 and 2.0 is that it is just a screen saver... without the option to add it to Windows' screen savers list and incorporate it into the system. So, it is a stand-alone screen saver with password option, not a locker*.

Version: Matrix Screen Locker 1.44
"Easy Keyboard input to unLock it!"
Pros: It's nice. Although not as nice as the one provided by KDE on linux.
Cons: It's a cr** locker, sorry a** locker really. Try this to unLock it:
[Windows logo Key+R] cmd [intro]
taskkill /IM matrix.exe [intro].
Nice Work Baroufasoft Guys!
