You seem to be quite an, um, expert on these matters.

It's quite well hidden - looks like they've left it in the old-style Control Panel, so you won't find it by digging around in the settings.
Fortunately, the search works quite well; just type "screen saver" in the search bar (or the "Find a setting" box), and it should come up at the top of the list.

One of my friends had his school assignments stored under 196 layers of encryption (don't ask). He is known as a "cryptopath".
Yeah, he's nuts.

"school assignments"... of course
That's what I called it when I was young as well

They seriously were. He left them decrypted once when he went to the restroom and another of my friends took a look. He was gone about 45 minutes, so there was plenty of time (Not sure what made him take so long).
He also called porn the "Spawn of cabbage" (He hated cabbage with a passion). He was, as I said, a bit nuts.

This story has the smell of a "manufactured" urban legend.

Oops and oops and oops...
The default settings for screensaver upon installation of Windows 10 is 'None'!!!
To rotate the photos from the local library the man should have to change the screensaver settings to 'Photos'!
So...

I like the quality of the Mail's technical writers: "Windows 10, the biggest update Microsoft has made to its computer software, finally launched after a massive beta test programme."
So, the change from 16-bit to 32-bit pales into significance?

I will point out that if she found out it was on repeat, that means she sat through it.
...and now that I've read the article:
"And to make matters worse, the malfunction was discovered by his wife"
If it's true at all, then it's not a "malfunction", it's by design.
"who told the story so others would not repeat the fatal mistake."
"Fatal", how? The story doesn't report any death.
I normally don't read it, but now I know why others refer to it as the Daily Fail.

A similar thing happened about two years ago when we brought home the new 'smart tv' while my step-son was visiting. The wife started mucking about with the menu and was intrigued when she saw the half-dozen or so computers on the home network, including her son's. She was delighted to find that she could access pictures from any computer on the network, and spent a half hour or so looking through the pictures from her laptop. After that, she wanted to see what was available on the son's laptop...it was like watching in slow motion and before I could say anything, the screen was filled with thumbnails of pr0n! What can you say? The kid is 28 yo. To me, it was no big deal, but the wife freaked out, confiscated the laptop and gave me the 'unpleasant' task of removing all the 'filth'! When he got home, he got a stern lecture from mom, and a little advice from me...'don't keep your pr0n in My Pictures next time'. His defense was that we should not have even looked on his laptop (that we bought) without his permission much less deleted content without asking first!

Too damn right!
If he was 16, I could understand. But he's 28! He's considered an adult in every country in the world.
If it was a shared computer, again I could understand. But you said that you bought the computer for him. In other words, it's his computer.
If an adult wants to fill the hard drive of his own computer up with Brazilian fart porn, that's his decision. It's none of your business!

While I agree with you, I was simply following the ruling of a higher authority and failure to comply was not an option. Sadly, for him, his windows password was predictable enough that I couldn't use it as an excuse not to get involved.

as a freelancer ,in a normal situation they charge hourly or fix rate per project but sometimes came a situation when the issue is very critical but the solution is very simple , like a small change in web config file or just modify some select query. basically you hardly need 2 to 5 mins to solve things.
in such condition, how would you suggest to charge to client?
P.S.
skip the situation where he/she is your regular client and you have a good relation with him/her so you would do it for free or nominal price.

In which case you charge them for an hour or a half hour if you think you may get work later. You can also charge them for an hour and refund them with a lower bill later if you get more work.
Remember - they are not just paying you for the time it takes but for your experience too.
The often quote example of the car mechanic who charged $100 for changing a bolt on a car in 3 minutes, the bill read "Price of bolt $0.50, price for 3 minutes of work $1, price for 40 years of experience and knowing how to perform job in 3 minutes $98.50".

Cost of losing a customer because the mechanic needed 40 years to learn how to change a bolt - $100.
