As far as I know the Unlock Computer window doesn't have a screen saver when you use Windows+L.
Or do you mean you have set Screen Saver  "On resume ....."   , which timeout to normal Screen Saver then Unlock Computer window when computer activated again.?

You can change the Logon Screen Saver & normal Screen Saver.?
When you Logoff it starts the Logon Screen Saver which you can change but doesn't Lock computer.,simply requires a password if you have one.

Use Registry Editor via Run & type   regedit    then navigate to HKEY
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop
SCRNSAVE.EXE       logon.scr

If your Screen Saver is in  C:\Windows\system32   folder just enter  new Screen Saver  name , ie:  xxxxx.scr
otherwise enter full path to Screen Saver , ie:   C:\Windows\system32\logon.scr

no I mean that when I log out and you see the buttons for users log in screen when you stay on that screen when  the screen savor comes on it's the one with the windows logo on. And not the one that i set on my user acc.

dose that help you understand?

Instead of logging out, just use "fast user switching", with the Win-key + L, You will remain logged on, but YOUR screen saver will run, and after "waking" from your screen saver you will be at the Logon screen, affording you the Password security. Thats the only way I know how to do that. Someone else may know of something else. I think you could edit the registry to play whatever sreensaver you want, but, thats not my bag.

Guess:

Check out the following Windows KB article. I think it  will tell you what you have to do. Essentially, you edit a registry key.

You can also change the timeout value.
