*WARNING*

If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that
may require you to reinstall your operating system.

Click Start, and then click Run.

In the Open box, type regedt32, and then click OK.

In the Registry Editor window, locate the following registry
key:HKEY_USERS\DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop

In the right pane, double-click ScreenSaveActive.

In the Edit String dialog box, type 0 in the Value data box, and then click
OK.

Click Exit on the File menu to quit Registry Editor.

The logon screen saver is turned off.

The OP wants to _change_ the default screensaver,
*not* turn it off.
