Default XP Default Screensaver settings

When a user has a screensave configured, that is the screensaver that
displays when the time lapses.

When no user is logged on, a defalt screensaver is used.

How to configure that default screensaver?

Use TweakUI from Microsoft's Power Toys:

You can use it to copy the screen saver from your account to the logon
window among other things.

Thanks for that.
it does what it says... sort of.

It copied the path I had set for the screen saver slideshow.

Apparently the "not yet logged in" status does not have enough
authority, or environment. Two requirements were not met.

1. The screensaver slideshoe is on my home network, in a Shared
Documents folder.

2. I have all the screen savers to run perpetually, and that nothing
goes to sleep.

The path was floating around the screen until monitor went to sleep.
