How do I configure the default screen saver to be the Open GL Text Saver?

A. Follow the procedure below:

  1. Start the registry editor (regedit.exe)
  2. Change the value HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop\SCRNSAVE.EXE to "E:\WINNT\System32\sstext3d.scr"
  3. Create a key called HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Screen Saver.3DText (Edit - New - Key)
  4. Under this new key, create two new values of string type (Edit - New - String Value) called "Font" and "Text"
  5. Set Font (double click on it) to Arial
  6. Set Text to the string you want to be displayed (you are limited to 16 characters)
  7. Close the registry editor

A word of caution, the Open GL screen savers use a lot of system resources, so I would not advise to use this, however I was asked :-)
