| Configure the logon screensaver |
| By default, Windows 2000 uses a logon screensaver that prompts you to press [Ctrl][Alt][Delete] to |
| log on after 15 minutes. You can configure options for the logon screensaver, including which |
| screensaver Windows uses and its timeout interval, by modifying the registry. |
| To specify the screensaver, open the Registry Editor and change the following value to the |
| screensaver executable file: |
| HKEY_USERS\DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop\SCRNSAVE.EXE |
| By default, Windows looks for the screensaver file in the %systemroot%\System32 folder. If the |
| file is located elsewhere, specify an explicit path. |
| To change the screensaver's timeout value, modify the following registry value. The default value |
| is 900 seconds (15 minutes). |
| HKEY_USERS\DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop\ScreenSaveTimeOut |
| You can also use this value to disable the screensaver. Simply set the ScreenSaveActive value to 0. |
| Set the value of ScreenSaverIsSecure to 1 to require a password to turn off the screensaver and log |
| Note: Editing the registry is risky, so make sure you have a verified backup before saving any |
