I need a screensaver that shows the desktop background only with a login prompt

Does anyone know of a Windows XP screensaver that will show a login prompt with the currently selected desktop background being visible behind the login prompt? The screensavers for windows don't do this... they show a login prompt without a background.

"If you turn off the Welcome screen you get the same effect by logging out or locking the computer. One could write a short AutoHotkey script:

Run %windir%\system32\rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation (locks the workstation, like hitting Win+L),

I think, compile it, change the extension to .scr, and use that for a screensaver."
