Welcome screen screensaver

[mvgberg]

XP with one limited, administrator and guest account. All three are set for
the supplied "blank" screensaver after 5 minutes of idle. That is exactly
what happens if logged in to a specific account. However, when the welcome
screen is displayed the bouncing Windows XP logo screensaver kicks in. What
controls the screensaver for the welcome screen? I would like the blank
screensaver for the welcome screen as well. For a long time the blank
screensaver came up when in welcome screen. Now it does not. I've checked
all the screensaver settings and tried a restart to no avail. Thanks.

Thank you Kelly. Your reference provided the info I needed to get the blank
screensaver on the welcome screen. The only tricky part was figuring out
that the blank screen is called scrnsave.scr. When that file shows up in an
explorer search the icon looks like it has something on it rather than being
all blank, but by checking the name of the screensaver used by an account
with a blank screensaver I discovered that was the correct file. Thanks
again.
