Click to expand...

Right-click the desktop background, choose "Properties-> Screen Saver" tab
and then select the screensaver desired and other parameters.
 
You'll need to edit the registry of the system account (NT Authority). You
can run regedit.exe and edit the following Reg_Sz string values;

"ScreenSaveActive"="1"
(activate screen saver)

"ScreenSaveTimeOut"="900"
(time in seconds before activation)

"SCRNSAVE.EXE"="logon.scr"
(path to screen saver)

found at
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop
