    Begin screen saver when lock computer


    Hello, it's possible to windows immediately initiate screen saver when I lock'im? (WINDOW KEY + L)? No matter how many minutes I put to initiate the screen saver. I want that it begin immediately after I lock windows. Just like GNOME does.

    Thanks, if it's possible, I hope you guys help me.

    I don't think its possible - try choosing the password option when the screensaver is interrupted and set the screensaver interval to 1 min.

    yeah, but this is the first thing that anyone will think. And was the first thing I thought. But I don't want that. I don't want to use screen saver unless I block the computer.

    Why are you worried about security? Any OS can be cracked.

    Is not about security, is just a personalization
    So, the final answer is that is not possible?

    I'm guessing you have a custom screensaver that you want to show as soon as you lock the computer?

    That's right. But I don't want to see it when I am using the computer, so I put 20 minutes for the screen saver start.

    HKEY_USER/.DEFAULT/Control Panel/Desktop. SetScreenSaveTimeOut to 0

    If you cannot find this key, do a search ofSetScreenSaveTimeOut in HKEY_USER.

    Don't forget to reboot the machine after u set this.

    Note: This will be active at anytime.

    what are you trying to do with this?
    This steps are the same thing of I open the 'preferences' and set screen saver time out to 0.
    Is nothing about my doubt.

    if there is any shortcut to run screen saver, it will really solve my problems.
    I just will enable the option 'on resume, display logon screen' and press the shortcut.
    is there any?
