Limited Access Laptop

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I have a company laptop, that has Windows XP on it, but I am severly
restricted in what I can / cannot do on it. For exmaple, I cannot
change the screensaver, which is defaulted to logon.scr. OK, it's an
alright screensaver, but it's a bit boring!

I don't want to change it to anything risque or something
inappropriate. I just want to use one of the other supplied MS
screensavers.

Is there a way to do it? I don't have access to the registry...the
screensaver option has been disabled / greyed out in the display
properties window.

Anything I can do?
