Unlike Windows XP and Vista, Windows 7 doesn’t launch a screensaver if you leave the computer idle on the logon (or Welcome) screen. But, there is a way to change this behavior. During this episode of TR Dojo, I show you how to enable a Windows 7 logon screensaver with a quick and easy registry hack.
