In Control Panel, choose Display, then Click on Screen Savers tab. Select "3D Pipes". Next Click on Settings and choose the following; Pipes choose "multiple". Pipe Style choose "traditional". Joint Type choose "mixed" and for Surface Style choose "solid".
When the easter egg Screen Saver runs it will sometimes show teapots instead of joints.
When running this easter egg screensaver you will need to be patient, but it is very satisfying when you do spot a teapot.
I have also been informed by a visitor that this Windows Easter Egg will work in Windows NT and Windows 2000.

Click the Choose Texture button and it will open the Windows folder, just click Cancel, click OK on the 3D Setting button and fire up the screensaver by clicking Preview.
