[OT, Perhaps?] Screen saver options when nobody is logged on...

[Unsubscribe Here!]

This is really just a curiousity I have about WinXP...

Is there an option to select a different screen saver (besides the default
"Windows XP") that will display when there are no logged-on users?

I believe the screen saver of the original admin, as in Owner or whatever it
is called when you do a safe mode boot, is the screen saver of the logon
screen when no one has logged on. If you have turned on your computer and
someone has logged on, whoever was last logged on, that is the screensaver
that will run. I could be mistaken, but this is just what I seem to notice.

So...
Figuring I just had to go into that account and change it (just to satisfy
my curiosity), I booted into Safe Mode and changed the screen saver from the
Administrator desktop, rebooted, and left it at the Welcome screen to wait
for the time-out.

The Windows XP "default" screen saver is still the one that shows!

(Why was I surprised?!)
