  1. Can I use my screen saver as my lock screen


    I have a neat fish aquarium screen saver. I would like to make it the lock screen.
    So when I press WINDOW+L I want the screen saver to come on.
    Is there any way to do this in the windows settings?
    If not, Is there a third party program or script I could use.

    :)
