152	Getting to Know the Windows® XP Operating System
	Lesson 10: Changing the screen saver

The operating system treats all windows, icons, programs, drives, etc. as self-contained objects, each with its own set of properties (such as size, position on-screen, and color). Many of these properties can be customized to meet your particular needs and tastes.

DEFINITION: An object is an independent block of data, text, or graphics that was created by an individual application.

This lesson introduces object properties by showing you how to change one of the properties of the desktop—the screen saver. This is a continuously changing pattern that appears on the screen during pauses in your work.

1Move the pointer to an empty area of the desktop, then click the secondary button.

The operating system displays the desktop shortcut menu.

2Click Properties.

The operating system opens the Display Properties dialog box.
