How do I change wallpaper on lock

Recommended Posts

I'd like to have one desktop wallpaper on my PC while I'm working, and a different wallpaper whenever I lock my PC. I guess I COULD just use a screensaver, but I want it to kick in the instant I lock my machine, but not be coming up all the time when I am using it normally.

Just to confuse matters, I'm using a double-width "dual desktop" arrangement.

Any ideas?

Not quite sure what you are trying to do - when I'm using the machine, the wallpaper doesn't show but, to more or less achieve what you want, you can have the screen saver come up immediately by following the directions given here.

You can then make a keyboard shortcut thus: right-click the screen saver icon on your desktop, select Properties and click the Shortcut tab. Place your cursor in the Shortcut key text box and type the letter that you would like associated with this shortcut. Windows will automatically place a [Ctrl] + [Alt] in front of the letter.

Finally, select the Apply button and then the OK button. You may now immediately activate your screen saver at any time by using the keyboard shortcut or by double clicking on the shortcut on your desktop.
