Normally, when you logon to Windows NT, the screen saver is not active. You can make it active even at the logon screen by editing a value in the Registry. The value you need to change is found at HKEY_USERS \DEFAULT\ControlPanel\Desktop.

? Double-click ScreenSaveActive and set it to 1.

? Double-click SCRNSAVE.EXE and enter the full path to the screensaver (e.g., C:\WINNT\System32\SCRNSAVE.SCR).

? Double-click ScreenSave TimeOut and enter the number of seconds to wait before activation.

? Close the Registry Editor.

? Shut down and restart the GUI.
