Hi, All:

I forgot to also mention -- my screen-saver keeps reverting back to, I
guess the default, "Windows XP" (the WinXP logo here and there), even
though I have manually set it to, say, "Starfield" or "3D Pipes" or
whatever!!

Why this annoyance, and what can I do??


THX!!!

Normal behaviour: If you logoff and leave your PC at the Welcome screen,
that's the Screen Saver you'll get. If you don't logoff, you'll get the screen
saver of the last active user.
