I know you can do it, but how...? I would like to change the screensaver for
the sign-in screen so that even when I'm logged off, I get the screensaver I
want to come up on the screen.

regedit>find/find next, for (value) scrnsave.exe, change data to [the path
for the new] *.scr, unless new *.scr is in System32 folder

Hi,

Start/run regedit, navigate here:

HKEY_USERS\DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop

Locate the scrnsave string in the right pane and double click it. Change the
name of the screensaver here to the one you want to use. As long as the file
is in the system32 folder, you do not need to enter a full path, just the
..scr file name.
