Disabling log-on screensaver

[Jonathan Finney]

How can I disable or change the screen saver that is activated after a
period of inactivity when at the XP log-on screen?

This is the setting for the normal screen saver. That's not what I'm
looking for.

You can do it one of two ways ... a long way using TweakUI or modifying the
HKEY_USERS/.DEFAULT/Control Panel/Desktop values.

TweakUI:
1. Set the normal screensaver to nothing
2. Open TweakUI | Logon | Settings
3. Check whatever you want set from current User to Default User logon
Welcom screen
4. Click on Copy Now

Regedit:
1. Open HKEY_USERS/.DEFAULT/Control Panel/Desktop key
2. Change SCRNSAVE.EXE value to (None)
3. Change ScreenSaveActive to 0
4. Close regedit

It's amazing what one can find when entering the right search
term in Google.

Even more amazing is what showed up as the first entry in the
search results.

set screensaver to <none> or the one usually 1st on the drop down

work'd for me, though login screen apears at start-up...
