Screensaver

Software program that becomes activated after the computer has been inactive for a specified amount of time. Screensavers were originally designed to help prevent images or text from being burned into older monitors. The monitors and LCDs used today no longer suffer from this issue and screensavers are commonly used today for entertainment, a method of securely protecting your computer while away, and/or a method of informing visitors of the computer user's status (ie: out to lunch).
  • Additional information and help as well as downloadable screen savers can be found here.
  • Information about creating a screensaver from your a collection of photos can be found on document CH000865.
  • See document CH000877 for additional information about changing your Windows password.
