- Type "screensaver" in the start menu and click "Change screen saver".
- Optionally change choice in the "Screen saver" dropdown menu: click "Preview" to test it.
TIPS:
• To disable screensavers altogether, select "None" in the dropdown (first option).
• Pick "Blank" in that dropdown to use a black screen as screensaver.
• "Photos" uses images from My Pictures as screensaver (hint: click "Settings").
• Same for "Windows Live Photo Gallery" if you've installed Windows Live Essentials.
- If the selected screensaver cannot be customized, the "Settings" button may be grayed out (disabled). Otherwise, click on it and configure the available options.
- Changing the "Wait [x] minutes" affects how long an inactive Windows 7 will wait before launching your screensaver (different from putting your PC/laptop to sleep in Power Options).
- We recommend that you leave the "On resume, display logon screen" checked to ensure that no-one without a username can access Windows, when waking it up from screensaver.
Tip: hold down the Windows Logo key and press "L" to lock your computer at any time.
- Click "OK" to apply your new settings, or "Cancel" to keep your current screensaver.
