Vista - Screen Saver

Does anyone know how to change the screen saver on the User Log In Page? I
have 3 different users on this computer but I can't change the screen saver
to one I'd like to use. I am the administrator on this machine. Thanks for
any help.

by screensaver, do you mean the little icon pictures beside your name? If so
they are called avatars (just for future reference ;D)

If so then goto control panel then user accounts. Under make changes to your
account is the option to choose a different picture.

If you mean the log in back ground then no sorry I cant help you.

No, I meant the screen saver. I know how to change avatars.

Only option I can think of for screensavers (i dont have them turned on cos
i just turn my monitor off if i leave it for any length of time - personal
choice) is to log in on the Administrators account and change the
screensaver on there, it may or may not work but its an option - you may
have to go into safe mode as i believe its disabled by default on normal
running.

Wasnt trying to be rude with my previous post, but i have had a LOT of
experience in the past of people wanting the "screensaver changng" only to
find out they meant the background or the avatars, so sorry if it sounded
condescending

In Win2000/XP, you can change it in [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control
Panel\Desktop]. Find the SCRNSAVE.EXE key and change it from logon.scr
to whatever you want. Don't know if Vista has the same registry key /
structure or not.

I am also trying to figure out how to make a screen saver run while the
computer is set to the log in page. I have a log in for the kids and do not
leave my account logged in. Did you find a resolution to this? Thanks
