Welcome screen screensaver

[Guest 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.

Re: Welcome screen screensaver

 

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.
