Disabling the Windows Logon Screen Saver

Why

• Screen savers are not necessary for virtual machines

To disable Windows Logon Screen Saver:

1. Click Start > Run, type regedit, click OK.
2. Locate the following registry key:

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop

3. Double-click the ScreenSaveActive string value item in the Details pane.
4. In the Value data box, replace the number 1 with the number 0, and then click OK.
