Screensaver....Help!
Sunday, July 27, 2003 by cyfrin | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Hi I just joined and downloaded LogOnStudio...so I now have a nice new logon screen BUT what I was really wanting is this:
When all users are logged out all I get is a lame XP screensaver and I would like to change it!! (Once logged in then our sreensavers are our personal choice) How do I do this without fiddling with the registry?

I dunno if you can do that without using the registry editor, here's how to do it with the registry editor (stolen from TweakXP.com):
In the Registry Editor window, locate the following registry key: HKEY_USERS\DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop In the right pane, double-click SCRNSAVE.EXE. In the Edit String dialog box, type the name of the screen saver that you want in the Value data box, and then click OK. For example, if you want to use the Mystify screen saver as your logon screen saver, type ssmyst.scr. IMPORTANT: Make sure that you correctly specify the path to the screen saver. If the screen saver is located in %SystemRoot%\System32, the explicit path is not required. Click Exit on the File menu to quit Registry Editor. The logon screen saver changes to the screen saver that you specified.
Worked for me.
