Open the display settings, click on the screen saver tab, enable the screen
saver and tick the box asking for a password on resume. Else, click the
power options button, click on the advanced tab, and have it prompt for
password on resume.

If you have xp, then go to screensaver options and tick the box that says
return to welcome screen after screensaver. Make sure you have a password
for your account.
