Hi Chris,

Customize the logon screen wallpaper, screensaver and other settings using Tweak UI:
http://www.winxptutor.com/tweaklogon.htm

Applying the Power management settings for the logon desktop:

Login to an admin-level account and customize the Power Options accordingly (turn off sleep/hibernate modes). Once done, close the Power Options dialog box. To export the Power settings of the current user account, type the following in Start, Run dialog:

REG EXPORT "HKCU\Control Panel\PowerCfg" C:\Power.REG

Then, open C:\Power.reg with Notepad. Use the "Replace" option to replace every occurence of the string "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" with "HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT". Save the file and close Notepad. Then right-click the file (C:\Power.REG) and choose Merge. Now, the power settings of the current user account is copied to the Welcome screen, technically the logon desktop.

You're welcome Chris. Hope the Power management setting worked for the Welcome Screen.

Thank you! I had gotten TweakUI but hadn't seen the ScreenSaver setting, and
I never would have figured out the other. Just out of curiosity, is this any
easier with Vista?
