CHAPTER 9: Customizing Your Computer

Selecting a screen saver
You can use a screen saver to keep others from viewing your screen while you are away from
your computer. Windows supplies a variety of screen savers that you can choose from, and many
more are available from the Internet and as commercial products.
To select a screen saver:
1 Click Start, then click Control Panel. The Control Panel window opens. If your Control Panel
is in Category View, click Appearance and Themes.
2 Click/Double-click the Display icon. The Display Properties dialog box opens.
3 Click the Screen Saver tab.
4 Click the arrow button to open the Screen Saver list, then click the screen saver you want.
Windows previews the screen saver.
If you want to customize the screen saver, click Settings, then make your changes. If the
Settings button is not available, you cannot customize the screen saver you selected.
If you want to display the Welcome (Login) screen whenever you exit the screen saver,
click the On resume, display Welcome screen check box.
If you want to change the time before the screen saver is activated, click the up or down
arrows next to the Wait box.
5 Click OK.
Caution
If you are using a monitor (not a flat-panel display), an image may get burned in
on your monitor screen if you leave your computer on for long periods of time without
using it. You should use a screen saver which constantly changes its image to avoid this
damage. Flat panel displays cannot be damaged with image burn-in.
Help
For more information about selecting a screen saver, click Start, then click
Help and Support. Type screen savers in the Search Help box, then press E
NTER.
