Well I'm not having problems with my screensaver but I would like to
know if anyone knows how to change the default screensaver in XP Pro. I
can change the individual users' screensavers but I cannot change the
one for the welcome screen when nobody is logged in. Am I stuck with
the default Windows XP one or does someone know how to change it.
 
It requires a registry edit. Start up regedit from an account with
administrator access, go to HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop and
change the value for SCRNSAVE.EXE to whatever you want. Always be careful in
the registry, however - changes here are immediate and can be devastating.
