screensavers

[jen benjamin]

we have a shared desktop, none of the screensavers will
work when no one is logged on. All we get is the windows
XP logo as screensaver. How can I change that to a
screensaver I downloaded when there is no one logged on> I
have been working on this for a month now and cannot
figure it out can someone please email me with help??
Thank you.

ok, click start/run, type "regedit" to open registry editor.
in left pane, navigate to HKEY_USERS/.DEFAULT/Control Panel/Desktop
now in right pane, locate SCRNSAVE.EXE and double-click it.
for value data, enter name of screensaver file you wish to use (in
"filename.scr" form) and click ok.
navigate out and close registry editor. that's it!

please be aware you are venturing into important stuff that can screw up
your computer if screwed with the wrong way!

I believe we will use the settings from the default user profile when no one
is logged on. Follow the steps in the following article to copy your
settings to the default user profile.
