How to Change Your Logon Screen Saver
A screen saver is a program that is installed to prevent Phosphor burn-in on CRT and plasma monitors. The screen saver turns on when the computer has been idle for a selected period of time. When it is enabled, it darkens the computer screen, and displays pictures, text or animation. Changing the logon screen saver is a quick, simple process.
