Author Blind as a Batch

Not sure if I am in the right newsgroup here but I hope so.

Using Windows XP pro I have a batch file (in windows scheduler, set for
start up) which runs a few utilities in a sequence.

Upon boot Windows displays the Logon Screen and of course everything running
in the batch is running in the background. (Unseen, behind the Logon Screen)

Would like to have something to indicate that the batch has completed before
I choose which user on the logon screen.

Ideally it would be great to implement Windows Default Screensaver at the
end of the batch. I do not know the command to do this or if one exists. I
am able to adjust the choice, timing and On/Off of the Windows Default
Screensaver. As in MS article 314493

But using the following line at the end of my batch implements the
Screensaver for the user who is running the batch and so this screensaver is
running behind the Logon Screen
(unseen as well)

start /w "" "screen saver name.scr" /s

Another school of thought is how to make the cdm.exe box visible on the
logon screen when the cdm.exe is running.which is why I am here on this
newsgroup. I am quite green at batch files as it is and would need detailed
explanation of any other type of script. Able to edit regedit if need be.

Any Ideas?
Thank you
