random setting on the screen saver

It is probably in the wrong place to ask because it is about Microsoft only, but y at - it an addon to randomly select a screensaver whenever it turns on in XP or 7? Usually, Linux has this built-in, and I was recently asked this by two separate people who run different versions of Windows. Now, I want to know, even if I don't use the home screen saver, but rather turn off the monitor via ACPI.

Not EXACTLY what you asked for (power on), but...

  • I am unable to adapt both the screen saver is activated

    I am unable to adapt both the screen saver is activated, I put the link, but it acts as if it was before progrmmed?

    Also is there a way to avoid to connect every time?

    The problem with these parameters is that they overlap.  The screen saver setting is perhaps not the one place to look: you should also watch your 'screen time out", as well as waiting times"lock screen ".  In addition, it could be the energy saving sleep timer.  From the point of view of the user, they all look the same (the screen turns off), but to get the desired exact situation, you may need to check up to 4 places.

    1. Right-click on the desktop > personalize > screen saver
      Even if you do not use a screensaver, this timer value is used to lock the screen.  The value 'none' and make sure that the check box is disabled, it does not require a password.
    2. Power options > Change when turn off the display
      Also look at the "require a password on wakeup" option here
    3. Power options > change when the computer sleeps
      Also look at the "require a password on wakeup" option here
    4. Application settings > lock screen settings

  • Disable the screen saver to logon in XP Home

    I'm deploying many gifts machines running XP Home to

    roots versions of control panel\desktop ScreenSaveActive key 0.
    They do not work.  Accounts get up always prepare you with ScreenSaveActive 1.
    I edited default user\ntuser.dat for ScreenSaveActive 0.
    Does not help.
    Can I change the timeout to many registry setting.
    in default user\ntuser.dat - out of work.  I put it in 10 years,

  • Why the screen saver does not work in the two screens?

    I have a monitor connected to my laptop using the VGA connector.
    Laptop LCD is set as the primary display and the additional monitor is defined as the extended desktop. When the screen saver appears, it shows on the main screen. How can I make it work on both? (without setting the external display as a clone of the hand).
    The OS is Vista Home Premium

    In dual screen extended mode, Win7 screen saver stops working after unpluging external monitor

    I have problems of this kind.

    I have listed what I've done to illustrate how to reproduce this.

    My OS is win7 32 bit.

    The replication steps are

    1. start on OS with integrated display (it is the system of n. b.)

    2. attach the HDMI (external monitor).

    3. turn on the extended mode and HDMI monitor as the primary device.

    4. set the screen saver 3D to be active and preview.

    Screensaver 3D drawing now works on the main screen.

    the secondary monitor (built-in monitor) working with black screen.

    5. hot unplug a HDMI monitor.

    6. the display of the 3D screen saver is changed back to the built-in screen.

    7. BUT the drawing of 3D on the built-in screen screensaver is STOPPED (= NOT updated).

    8 move the mouse, built-in monitor escapes from the idle screen status (operating system is still alive)

    Is this an OS behave as expected?
